Sudan gold mine collapse leaves at least 82 dead as rescue teams press on
A collapse at an informal gold mine in Sudan’s Kordofan region killed at least 82 people, with rescue teams racing to reach others still trapped; earlier tallies reported 67 bodies recovered and around 70 missing. The mine reportedly employed unregulated workers and lacked basic safety measures, highlighting dangers in Sudan’s informal mining sector amid ongoing conflict between the RSF and the military, and in a country where much of the gold is smuggled to fund armed groups.
