#Sudan - Ayin Network: While the role of gold in financing Sudan's war has been well documented, there is another resource—"the golden tears of Africa," or gum arabic—that has played a key role in fuelling the ongoing conflict.

Sudan controls roughly 70-80% of the world's supply of gum arabic, a resource found in soft drinks, pharmaceuticals, certain foods, cosmetics, etc. The Rapid Support Forces currently control approximately 80% of the gum arabic trade, frequently smuggling it out of the country.

Two French companies lead in gum arabic processing.
