Sudan Gold Mine Strike Kills 72 Miners, Group Says

The claim matters less for its toll than for its target: a cross-border strike on artisanal gold mining, the informal economy that has kept Sudan's warring factions financed through the conflict.

Whether independent verification emerges, and whether Cairo or Khartoum breaks silence, is the open question.
