In Chad, I spoke to many people who escaped al-Fashir. Again and again, I heard stories about RSF fighters separating young children and putting them in the back of vehicles. I started to ask specifically about this, looking for more witnesses and for people who knew the children who had been taken. This is that story: reuters.com/world/africa/sud…

Last year we noticed data showing enormous increases in gold exports from Africa to the UAE, particularly from countries adjacent to war zones in places like Congo & Sudan. Since then we've been flying around the world to follow the supply chain & crunching the numbers 🧵

I've just finished a new investigation, and it's a biggie!
