Der Weg des Goldes: Von Darfur nach Dubai – und weiter in die Schweiz?
Was in sudanesischen Minen gefördert wird, landet teils über Umwege auf dem Weltmarkt. Die Schweiz ist im Goldhandel eine wichtige Akteurin, aber die hiesige Gesetzgebung hinkt hinterher.

Preventable deaths in a warming world: how politics shapes who lives and who dies | The Conversation
"Cameroonian historian Achille Mbembe introduced the idea of “necropolitics” to explain how some lives come to be treated as more expendable than others. This does not imply intent to kill, but rather the routine political acceptance that some people will be exposed to harm.
[...]
deaths were shaped not only by heat, but by structural inequalities and gaps in policy and infrastructure.
This logic is visible globally. In south Asia and the Middle East, heatwaves claim the lives of elderly people and outdoor workers. In sub-Saharan Africa, floods and droughts disproportionately affect subsistence farmers.
In the UK, air pollution is linked to roughly 30,000 deaths annually. People from ethnic minority and low-income communities are more likely to live in the most polluted areas. These deaths are not random. They follow recognisable social patterns.
Mbembe’s concept helps describe situations where political, economic or social arrangements leave some populations consistently exposed to harm. That includes climate-vulnerable communities, places where resources are being extracted through mining or areas where people are displaced from their homes."

Preventable suffering is both widespread and socially produced.
