A gold mine in Sudan's northern Awny mining area collapsed on Sunday, killing at least 10 people and injuring 21, according to survivors. Days earlier, a collapse at the al-Zaraa gold mine in West Kordofan state killed at least 82 people. Amid the collapse of Sudan's economy due to war, the increasing value of gold has driven miners to work in informal mining areas lacking regulation and safety equipment, leading to frequent accidents. Sudanese Prime Minister Kamil Idris previously met with the Minister of Minerals to discuss regulatory policies for traditional mining.
