Sudan's government seems interested in transitioning the country's gold-mining industry to modern methods but also seems to be unaware of the international gold price suppression scheme, which makes all developing countries less attractive for foreign investment.

So if you have any connections with the Sudanese government, please let them know that GATA would be glad to send a representative to Khartoum to explain how the country is getting screwed but doesn't have to remain another rich country insisting on being poor.
