EU Bans Sudan Gold to Stop War Funding | Global News

The EU just slapped a gold embargo on Sudan, calling it a war-funding lifeline for the brutal civil conflict that’s displaced 14 million people. Sudan’s gold — much of it smuggled through neighboring nations to hubs like Dubai — fuels both warring factions, with the RSF controlling western and central mines and the army dominating the north and east. Alongside the gold ban, the EU is also halting exports of mercury and cyanide, critical mining chemicals. While sanctions aim to starve the conflict of cash, experts warn that without global gold market cooperation and stronger enforcement along smuggling routes, the trade may persist — especially as millions face famine.
