Gold Mine Collapse in Northeastern Sudan Kills at Least 11 Miners
At least 11 miners died and 30 were injured after a gold mine shaft collapsed in Oni, northeastern Sudan, with search efforts ongoing for those still missing. This incident is the second such collapse at informal gold mines in Sudan within a week, following a previous disaster that killed at least 82 miners in the west. Sudan's numerous small-scale mines often lack safety standards amid ongoing conflict between the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese military, which has caused widespread instability and humanitarian challenges.
