🔥 SUDAN GOLD SURGES — BUT MOST IS SMUGGLED 🪙
Sudan hit record gold production despite war:
📈 2023: 2–6.4 tons (war onset)
📈 2024: ~64 tons
📈 2025: 70 tons — all-time high
The Smuggling Crisis 📉
⚠ 48–80% of gold evades official channels
💰 Only ~28 tons officially exported in 2024
🌍 Flows mainly to UAE, Egypt, and other hubs
This fuels:
🔫 Armed factions
💵 Shadow economy
⚠️ Massive revenue loss for the state
Key Insight 🧠
Sudan’s gold industry looks resilient on paper,
but war + porous borders = resource fueling conflict
Record production ≠ public revenue
Gold is powering illicit networks while state coffers starve
Coins & Markets to Watch 💹
Sudan proves: gold shines, but doesn’t always enrich the nation.
