Sudan mine collapse kills 67
Seventy-seven people have died as a result of the collapse of the Zra'a Gold Mine in West Kordofan, Sudan. Search efforts are currently underway for survivors amidst concerns that the death toll may Rise due to the lack of safety and protection measures in the mine. The mine is located in the Al-Barqiq area and has been operational since May 2025. It employs more than two million people and contributes approximately 80% of the gold extracted in the country. The Sudanese government faces challenges in regulating informal mining under difficult conditions. The incident occurs within the context of an ongoing war since April 2023 between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, which has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions.
