DW NOTE
Egypt launching strikes on Sudanese gold mines is resource warfare dressed up as counter-terrorism. Sudan produces roughly 100 tonnes of gold annually, most of it from artisanal mines that fund whichever militia controls the pit. Cairo isn't securing a border — it's contesting control of the one hard asset that still moves across the Red Sea corridor while the Strait of Hormuz stays shut.
