Eleven people were killed and 30 others injured in a gold mine collapse in the Red Sea State of Sudan, near the Egyptian border. Survivors explained that excavation work was carried out using primitive equipment and the laborers' hands, amid fears of additional victims. This disaster comes just days after another mine in Kordofan collapsed, killing approximately 80 people. The mining sector is suffering from significant disruptions due to war and economic conditions, which have pushed many workers to engage in informal mining practices that expose them to the dangers of hazardous chemicals like cyanide. Sudan is one of the largest gold producers in Africa, with production reaching 70 tons last year, despite the European Union's ban on the use of certain materials in illegal gold trade.
