Conflict gold and environmental impact in Sudan
Report highlights ongoing environmental damage from Sudanese 'conflict gold' mining operations.
A recent report by Sudan’s Centre for Environmental and Social Studies (CESS) reveals the continued appearance of conflict‑related Sudanese gold, which is linked to uncontrolled mining activities causing pollution and environmental degradation. The mining affects ecosystems, wildlife, livestock, and people’s livelihoods, particularly in South Kordofan, Northern State, and Darfur, and involves the use and mismanagement of hazardous substances such as mercury with serious consequences for human health and the environment.
