  abstract = {{D}arfur has been shattered by a long chain of violent escalations, and numerous interpretations of reasons and recommendations for solutions have been put forward. {S}ince the early 2010s, gold mining appeared as


an additional element in ongoing conflicts and became a dominant aspect, not just as one of the financial pillars of the upcoming {R}apid {S}upport {F}orces under {D}agalo family leadership, but also as a source of environmental


pollution. {N}evertheless, gold mining made its way only slowly into political analyses, and although its substantial role in {S}udan's recent history, including the current war, has now more often been recognized, it is often treated


only for its broad geopolitical implications. {W}e trace in this essay the development of gold mining in {D}arfur in more detail, show its impact on existing and new conflicts in the region, and give an outlook on its continuation under


conditions of war. {B}ased on our analysis, we also formulate an assessment of long-term consequences of these extractive activities.},
