🇨🇫 In the Central African Republic gold mines have become the Wagner’s private preserve. At the Ndassima site alone, estimates suggest more than 200 billion CFA francs per year in gold extraction—funds that don't benefit the local population.

In Ydéré, gold and mercury are shipped out in tankers every week. In Boda, via the company Lobaye Invest, both gold and diamonds are being exploited. In Lobaye prefecture, valuable timber is also being extracted and shipped abroad.

🇸🇩🇦🇪 Sudan's booming wartime gold trade flows through the UAE

Sudan's gold industry has become the lifeblood of its war, with nearly all of the trade channelled through the United Arab Emirates, enriching both the army and paramilitaries, sources say.

The two-year conflict has decimated Sudan's economy, yet last month the army-backed government announced record gold production in 2024. Demand for the country's vast gold reserves was "a key factor in prolonging the war," Sudanese economist Abdelazim al-Amawy told AFP.

🇲🇽 Captain BJ Dart on X: Michoacán is transforming into a minefield patrolled by drones in the sky.

Most nations are not equipped to deal with this.

Mexican authorities are reporting finding on average about 5 times more explosive devices than in 2022.

The cartels are also running recruitment operations for explosives experts and engineers.

That includes ex-combatants from conflicts in the ME and Ukraine.

There are few signs of this deescalating anytime soon.

Mexico has always had geographical issues that made power projection from Mexico City difficult: mines, drones, and surveillance technology make this even harder in the 21st century.
