Sudan RSF Refused Help in Gold Mine Collapse Killing 82

World16 days ago

Six pits fell into each other on September 15 in West Kordofan, leaving dozens of workers trapped beneath the earth. Survivors of the Al-Zaraa gold mine collapse say they walked 15 minutes to a Rapid Support Forces (RSF) post equipped with two excavators but were turned away, forcing them to recover bodies using shovels. A local official and an RSF source stated that at least 82 people died and approximately 50 others were injured in the disaster.

The paramilitary force is reported to have operated as a partner in the mine and currently controls the territory. Both the RSF and the Sudanese army utilize revenues from Sudan's widespread informal gold mining sector to fund their military operations. Authorities sealed the mining area a few days after the collapse.
