روایت خاورمیانه 
In Abu Hamad, on the banks of the Nile, lush gardens and farms once rich in dates, citrus fruits, grains, and legumes produced for eastern Sudan's cities, including Khartoum and Port Sudan. However, today, this land has taken on a completely different appearance. Trees have been cut down, agricultural lands have been destroyed, and farms have been replaced by shops and commercial spaces.
Deadly Effects of Gold Mining
Around this city and its outskirts, more than 700 gray waste piles are polluting the soil, water, and air. These piles are toxic remnants of gold mining that began around 2008 and have significantly increased in the past six years. This situation has turned into a public health crisis, as the chemicals present in this waste dangerously affect people's lives.
With rising poverty and war, gold mining has become a source of income for many Sudanese, but the cost of these activities is extremely high. Agricultural lands that once provided food are now places of pollution and disease. These changes not only impact agriculture but also pose a serious threat to public health and the country's food future.
Uncertain Future of Sudan
As this trend continues, Sudan is heading towards the destruction of its natural resources. Fertile lands that once sustained people's lives are now at risk under the shadow of Nile gold. This situation serves as a wake-up call for Sudanese officials and policymakers to urgently find a solution to save these vital resources.
