🇸🇩🇦🇪 Sudan's booming wartime gold trade flows through the UAE

Sudan's gold industry has become the lifeblood of its war, with nearly all of the trade channelled through the United Arab Emirates, enriching both the army and paramilitaries, sources say.

The two-year conflict has decimated Sudan's economy, yet last month the army-backed government announced record gold production in 2024. Demand for the country's vast gold reserves was "a key factor in prolonging the war," Sudanese economist Abdelazim al-Amawy told AFP.

🇵🇱🎉🗳 Congratulations to Karol Nawrocki for winning in the 2025 Polish presidential elections!

Although Nawrocki being president won't replace the liberal pro-EU premier, Donald Tusk, from power, I will be considering Poland as a "sovereignist" country and expect its relations with Hungary and the Visegrad group to improve after this victory.

Tusk's Civic Coalition not having control over the Polish presidency also makes it more difficult for the EU to implement their projects and Hungary has won another veto partner in the European Council.

Next September, Parliamentary elections in Moldova may see the Action & Solidarity Party (PAS) lose majority and need a coalition to keep ruling. Moldova will not turn against the EU any time soon though, PAS will still win the most seats but not enough for a clear majority as the Moldovan opposition is quite incompetent as all opposition parties to PAS are social-democrat/leftist and all fight each other for the same voter base.

In October, Czechia is holding legislative elections and the rightwing ANO and SPD parties are expected to perform much better than in 2021 and the current pro-EU coalition is expected to lose the majority they have in the Czech Parliament. An ANO victory means the reactivation of the Visegrad Group, which has been dormant for the past 5 years.

🇺🇸🇧🇫🏴Hace unos días, el general Michael Langley, comandante del AFRICOM, defendió sus críticas previas al líder de la junta militar de Burkina Faso, el capitán Ibrahim Traoré, por no "priorizar" adecuadamente la lucha contra el terrorismo.

Langley reconoció que sus comentarios anteriores podrían haberse interpretado de forma exagerada, pero reiteró su preocupación sobre el enfoque del país africano, que considera más centrado en protegerse a sí mismo que en enfrentar a los grupos insurgentes, según el comandante.

Según Langley, Burkina Faso —ubicado en lo que llamó “el epicentro del terrorismo mundial”— ha redirigido recursos como las exportaciones de oro hacia la protección del régimen, en lugar de combatir eficazmente el extremismo.

🇧🇷🔍💥⚖️ — The president of Google in Brazil, Fábio Coelho, expressed concern about the direction of the trial on Article 19 of the Marco Civil da Internet (Brazil’s Internet Bill of Rights), currently underway at the Supreme Federal Court (STF).

➡️ According to him, the possible prior liability of platforms for user-generated content poses a threat to freedom of expression and creates legal uncertainty. He warned that essential content for democratic debate could be at risk, citing three particularly vulnerable areas: investigative journalism, humor, and electoral advertising.

“Platforms will have to preemptively remove any content that could potentially be questioned in order to avoid liability or financial penalties. Any investigative journalism piece could be taken down because some people may feel defamed. Humor is also at risk, as platforms might fear that satire could be misinterpreted as fact. Electoral content could also be removed, because during elections, platforms are pressured to take everything down.”

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Axios now reports that the most recent U.S. proposal to Iran did NOT include a demand for 'zero enrichment', stating that Iran would be allowed to enrich uranium at a limited rate for a period of time

If the Axios report is true, this is remarkable for two reasons:

1. It shows that the U.S. is willing to compromise on its 'red lines' regarding Iran's uranium enrichment.

2. Iran is reportedly drafting a rejection to this proposal DESPITE the fact that it would allow Iran to enrich uranium on its own soil.

Why would Iran reject it? —> Likely because the U.S. is still demanding that Iran's existing stockpile of uranium be moved abroad, which is another totally seperate issue that Iran considers unacceptable.

In Ydéré, gold and mercury are shipped out in tankers every week. In Boda, via the company Lobaye Invest, both gold and diamonds are being exploited. In Lobaye prefecture, valuable timber is also being extracted and shipped abroad.

The number of ships departing from China to the US over the last 15 days has dropped to its lowest since February.

Excluding the Chinese New Year-related decline in February, this is the lowest level in over a year.

Shipping volumes have declined by ~50% since mid-April as reciprocal tariffs began.

This is all despite the US-China 90-day tariff truce announced on May 12th.

The effective US tariff rate on China is above pre-April 2nd levels, at 33%.

US-China trade is coming to a halt.
