Sudan's Gold Rush: A Struggle for Survival Amid War
Just read about Sudan's brutal civil war pushing thousands into dangerous gold mining just to survive. For many, like one electrician who fled Khartoum, it's a desperate lifeline-exhausting and risky, but better than being in the middle of the war. The gold sector is huge but murky, with tons smuggled out, while foreign interests, especially Saudi Arabia, are stepping in with big deals. Despite government efforts to regulate, for everyday Sudanese, it's about putting food on the table. Heartbreaking to see people risking their lives for a basic living.
