A soldier has been missing since Sunday in Guyana, after accidentally falling from a canoe into the waters of the Oyapock River. According to a source close to the case, it is a legionnaire.
A gendarme, on patrol aboard the same canoe with other soldiers, was slightly injured, said the gendarmerie in Paris, evoking the hypothesis of an accident of the boat that would have hit something. On 25 March, a French gendar me, GIGN Major Arnaud Blanc, was killed while participating with nine comrades in an operation against illegal gold panning.
