Explorers' role in Egypt-Sudan crisis
The article addressed the issue of illegal gold mining in the Eastern Desert between Egypt and Sudan, where illicit activities carried out by criminal organizations—supported by the instability in Sudan—have led to an escalation of the crisis between the two countries. Extensive Egyptian security campaigns resulted in the apprehension of around 87 Egyptians and 136 foreigners, as well as the dismantling of smuggling operations and illegal mining activities, especially in the Jabal Eikat area in the Red Sea Governorate. The two governments exchanged accusations regarding the ongoing phenomenon that threatens national security, while Egypt emphasized the need to confront organized crime and trafficking. It was also reaffirmed that these measures are not aimed at harming the relationship between the Egyptian and Sudanese peoples but are necessary to address the security and economic threats posed by illegal gold mining.
