Sudan moves to criminalize undocumented gold possession to curb smuggling
Sudan is moving to criminalize possession of gold without documentation, a step aimed at curbing large-scale smuggling of the country's mineral wealth. Gold is a key source of Sudanese export revenue, and undocumented trade has long drained state income. The proposal signals tougher enforcement of rules requiring traders to declare and formally register holdings.
Why now: Sudan's gold smuggling has become a pressing issue as the country's finances deteriorate during the ongoing conflict.
