Sudan Gold Exports to UAE Slump After Diplomatic Ties Severed— Data illustrates frayed relations(Sudanese authorities formally cut ties with the UAE last May, and have accused UAE of backing the RSF)

Graph Note: Gold exports are in metric ton unit, which is equivalent to 1,000 Kilograms.

The North African nation sent about 8.2 metric tons of gold to the UAE in 2025, down from 22.2 tons the year before. As a result, the proportion of Sudan’s total gold shipments that went to the UAE fell to 56% from 99% over the same period.
