Sudan Gold Mine Strike Kills 72, Exposes Border Chaos

An alleged air strike on a gold mining site in northern Sudan killed at least 72 workers, a Khartoum-based rights group says. Emergency Lawyers accused the Egyptian military of targeting civilian miners in the Jabal al-Uqaydat border area. The attack highlights deepening lawlessness along the undemarcated Egypt-Sudan frontier, where gold wealth and the Sudanese civil war have fueled instability.
