24/9/19: Radio Dabanga - Protests against gold mining in Sudan's Northern State continue

 Radio Dabanga reports on the ongoing Sudanese protests against gold mining operations.

 Mohamed El Taayshi, member of the Sovereign Council, met with a delegation from Kadeer and Kalogi in South Kordofan in Khartoum, in which he called for suspension of the work of gold companies in South Kordofan.

 “If these companies are found to be involved in the death of residents and animals, and environmental pollution, they should be brought to trial and must compensate those affected,” he said. El Taayshi added that “most of the capitalist companies have no religion, ethics and or ideology”.

 The delegation from Kadeer and Kalogi provided a comprehensive explanation to the member of the Sovereign Council on the abuses of gold mining companies and the environmental and health disasters that have occurred in the region, such as genetic deformities, animal deaths and people dying.
