🔴 Nearly 65,000 civilians have been displaced from Sudan’s Kordofan region over the past three months as insecurity sharply worsened, according to a new statement from the UN’s International Organization for Migration. The UN agency said its field teams recorded 56 separate displacement incidents between Oct. 25 and Dec. 30, 2025, with the majority in South and North Kordofan. About 42,780 people fled North Kordofan, 21,860 were displaced from South Kordofan, and 250 from West Kordofan. The displacement follows weeks of intense fighting between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, as the war that erupted in April 2023 continues to devastate civilian populations. IOM warned the figures are preliminary and could rise as fighting continues.

🇪🇬 Mada Masr reports that Egyptian airstrikes on June 16 killed at least 23 Sudanese gold miners during a large-scale military operation targeting informal mining camps in the Jabal al-Uqaydat and Jabal al-Ahmar gold mining areas north of the disputed Halayeb Triangle, bordering the Red Sea. 🔸According to eyewitnesses, the operation followed several days of Egyptian troop movements and aerial surveillance before military aircraft bombed the mining sites. Survivors said armored units then advanced into the area, shut down the mines and forced an estimated 5,000 to 7,000 miners to flee. Others were detained and later deported to Sudan. 🔸Two senior Egyptian officials told Mada Masr the operation targeted Sudanese groups mining inside Egyptian territory without licenses, saying Cairo is seeking to reassert state control over lucrative gold deposits while preventing informal mining networks and armed smugglers from evolving into more organized armed groups along the border. 🔸The report also links the operation to the long-running dispute over the Halayeb and Shalateen Triangle. One Egyptian official said the scale of the strikes was intended to signal that Egypt “will not relinquish its sovereignty” over the disputed territory amid Egyptian concerns that Sudan’s war and shifting regional alliances could eventually reshape negotiations over the disputed Halayeb Triangle.

🔴 Kings of Famine: How Gaza’s starvation was turned into a $1B business An investigation by @MadaMasr reveals how Israel engineered a monopolized supply system for Gaza during the war, using hunger to create a lucrative industry controlled by a network of Israeli-approved Palestinian importers and Egyptian power brokers. After October 2023, Israel restricted all commercial imports into Gaza to a small number of Palestinian companies holding Israeli permits. These firms did not import goods themselves. Instead, they acted as gatekeepers, charging Gaza traders enormous “coordination fees” simply to secure Israeli approval. This system, known locally as “goods coordination,” eliminated competition and drove prices to extreme levels. On the Egyptian side, Sinai businessman Ibrahim al-Argany and his company ‘Sons of Sinai’ controlled storage, transport, and access at Rafah. As aid trickled in under international pressure, commercial goods were deliberately favored over free humanitarian aid. Israel classified everything as “aid,” inflating its statistics while allowing traders to sell food at prices most Palestinians could not afford. When Israel later banned private imports, the trade continued anyway. Commercial goods were relabeled as humanitarian aid through forged paperwork and informal arrangements involving aid organizations and border officials. By late 2024, a majority of “aid trucks” were carrying commercial goods sold for profit. As Gaza’s police and aid systems were systematically dismantled by Israel, a new market emerged: securing food trucks. Armed groups and private security companies — most notably Aqsa, tied to Argany’s business network — charged tens of thousands of dollars per truck to protect shipments. These costs were passed directly to consumers. By 2025, coordination and security fees had generated over $1 billion, while food prices rose more than 1,000%. The investigation shows famine in Gaza was not accidental, but the product of deliberate control, enforced scarcity, and organized profiteering under Israeli supervision. The full report is linked below 👇 See new posts Conversation Mada Masr مدى مصر @MadaMasr Translated from Arabic Since the beginning of the war on Gaza, commodity prices have witnessed an unprecedented rise, causing the starvation of millions in the sector. Amid the chaos and under the eyes of the occupation, a network of businessmen has reaped profits exceeding a billion dollars by smuggling goods into the sector under the cover of aid.
