EU sanctions on Sudan's gold trade called fundamentally flawed
Original: Why the EU's sanctions on Sudan's gold trade are fundamentally flawed
The EU's sanctions targeting Sudan's gold trade are facing criticism over their design and likely effectiveness. Critics argue the measures fail to address the networks controlling gold exports, which have become a key revenue source for Sudan's warring parties, and may instead push the trade further underground while doing little to weaken armed groups or protect civilians caught in the conflict.
Why now: Fresh EU sanctions on Sudan's gold sector have drawn criticism that they will not curb the financing of the country's war.
