Original: Egypt Announces Further Gold-Mining Operations in Sudan Days After Airstrikes Killed 72 Civilians

Egypt has announced further gold-mining operations in Sudan, just days after airstrikes killed 72 civilians there. The timing has drawn attention to foreign mining activity continuing in the country while the war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces inflicts heavy civilian casualties. Critics question how extraction projects proceed amid the violence and who benefits from Sudan's gold wealth during the conflict.
