New in the @nytimes.com: “’We are in disbelief,’ said Medhanye Alem of the Center for Victims of Torture, which treats survivors of conflict-related trauma at nine centers in northern Ethiopia, all now closed.” By @declanwalsh.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/w...

A mammoth investigation by Declan Walsh into the gold rush fueling Sudan's civil war. The paramilitary RSF has extracted $860m worth from mines it seized in Darfur this year alone. Who's profiting? The UAE. Gift link and 🧵 of some visual reporting. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/11/w...

Strong display in today's @nytimes.com for our story about the gold rush driving Sudan's brutal war.
