Sudan moves to criminalize undocumented gold possession to curb smuggling
Sudan is moving to criminalize possession of gold without documentation, in an effort to crack down on widespread smuggling of the metal out of the country. Gold is a key source of revenue for Sudan, and authorities have long struggled with unregulated trade that diverts income from state coffers. Details of the proposed measures and how they will be enforced remain limited.
Why now: Gold smuggling is a major economic and political issue in Sudan, especially amid the ongoing conflict and loss of state revenue
