🔥 SUDAN GOLD SURGES — BUT MOST IS SMUGGLED 🪙

Sudan hit record gold production despite war:

📈 2023: 2–6.4 tons (war onset)

📈 2024: ~64 tons

📈 2025: 70 tons — all-time high

The Smuggling Crisis 📉

⚠ 48–80% of gold evades official channels

💰 Only ~28 tons officially exported in 2024

🌍 Flows mainly to UAE, Egypt, and other hubs

This fuels:

🔫 Armed factions

💵 Shadow economy

⚠️ Massive revenue loss for the state

Key Insight 🧠

Sudan’s gold industry looks resilient on paper,

but war + porous borders = resource fueling conflict

Record production ≠ public revenue

Gold is powering illicit networks while state coffers starve
