While nearly 95 percent of Sudan’s gold mines are operated by artisanal miners, they are not the ones profiting from its wealth. Here is why
of the North African state’s gold production. However, Baldo thinks that artisanal mining might make up a bigger share of the total production, around 95 percent.
There are no real efforts from Sudanese Ministry of Mining to enforce the country’s Mining Law, which bans artisanal miners from digging trenches beyond certain depths, according to Baldo. “I’m not the first man to have gold mines. It’s true, we have gold mines, and there’s nothing preventing us from working in gold,”While it’s true that there is no real force which can prevent him from operating mines, the only problem appears to be the fact that Hemeti is not a private entrepreneur looking for opportunities in Sudan’s lucrative gold mine business.
“If you put revenues from that gold into public services like education, heath and job creation in Darfur, the conflict zone will be a tremendous asset to Sudan,” says Abdi Samatar, an academic in the Department of Geography, Environment and Society at the University of Minnesota. Bashir, who was under pressure from both opposition forces and powerful generals, thought that Hemeti could protect him from political collapse, so he allowed Algunade to export gold without any supervision from the Central Bank,“This happened during the Bashir rule. In the last few months of his rule, Bashir gave him a licence to export gold to the United Arab Emirates directly. They did that and they made some profit out of it,” Baldo says.
