Dozens of Sudanese miners killed near Egyptian border

Original: il manifesto: Sudan, strage di minatori al confine. L’Egitto primo indiziato L’Egitto condanna gli attacchi Houthi in Ar

Dozens of Sudanese miners have been killed in a strike near the border with Egypt, with the Italian newspaper il Manifesto reporting that Egypt is the prime suspect. According to the NGO Emergency, 72 miners died in the attack. The report notes the irony that Egypt has simultaneously been condemning Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia while facing accusations of bombing Sudanese territory. The killings have drawn attention to the violence surrounding informal gold mining in the border region amid Sudan's ongoing conflict.

Why now: The high death toll and accusations against Egypt make the reported massacre a serious new development in the regional conflict.
