🇸🇩 SPLM-N says gold deposits may be fueling fighting in Kauda and Blue Nile

Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North said newly identified gold deposits could be a factor behind recent fighting in Kauda and Blue Nile, according to an October 10 report by allAfrica. The movement linked the clashes to competition over control of mineral-rich areas in territories where it has long operated.

Kauda is a strategic SPLM-N stronghold in South Kordofan near the Blue Nile region, where conflict has persisted for years between armed groups and Sudanese authorities. The report comes as Sudan continues to face overlapping security crises across multiple regions.
