The United States should move swiftly to impose sanctions on gold produced in Sudan’s conflict zones, a think-tank group said.

“After studying this regime for 25 years, it is my conclusion that the Khartoum government is most vulnerable to targeted, focused, relentless economic and financial pressure. Therein lies the greatest opportunity for American leverage to be deployed in support of peace and human rights in Sudan,” John Prendergast, the co-founder of the Enough Project, said in prepared remarks before US congress on Wednesday.
