Egyptian army uncovers gold smuggling networks

The Egyptian army launched a security campaign in the southern part of the country targeting criminal networks linked to activities such as drug trafficking, arms smuggling, illegal gold mining, and migrant smuggling. The operation resulted in the arrest of 223 individuals, as well as the seizure of weapons, mining equipment, and 14 vehicles. These networks have become a threat to Egypt's national security, especially after armed conflicts among their members over mining resources and power struggles, which have negatively impacted economic stability and development efforts. Egyptian security forces are continuously working to secure the borders and pursue lawbreakers.
