LIVE: Gold Rush in Sudan Amid Deadly Civil War; UAE & Russia Top Buyers | Firstpost Africa
Devastated by war, Sudan is witnessing a massive gold rush. Billions of dollars worth of gold is flowing out of Sudan with production and trade surpassing pre-war levels. But instead of helping Sudan regain its feet, the gold trade has been enriching the warring generals and further propelling the fight. Money from the illegal gold trade is assisting the RSF and the Army pay for drones, guns and missiles that have killed thousands across the country since the beginning of the civil war in April 2023. The current civil war pits the Sudan army, led by General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, against the paramilitary RSF, led by General Mohamed Hamadan Dagalo, popularly known as Hemedti. How is Sudan smuggling gold? Who are the top buyers of Sudan's illegal gold? The trade of gold is at the heart of how and why the war began and why peace remains a distant dream in Sudan. Watch this video for details.
