Sudan gold mine collapse kills at least 60

The toll underscores a persistent gap in Sudan's artisanal gold sector, where informal operations and weak safety oversight have long been a known risk. This matters beyond the immediate tragedy because artisanal output feeds into regional gold supply chains, and disruptions or crackdowns can ripple through those flows. With no details yet on the cause or the injured, whether this prompts any regulatory response — or remains another unaddressed incident — is the open question.
