 At least 50 people killed after Sudan gold mine collapses

A similar collapse occurred at the same location two months ago, causing injuries.


The tragedy has renewed criticism over weak government oversight and poor infrastructure at artisanal mining sites where thousands work under hazardous conditions without formal regulation or safety standards.
