The report said that Ahlat\u00e7i Holding transports quantities of Sudanese gold to Turkey for refining and re-export.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahlat\u00e7i Holding traces its roots back to the 1980s, when it began as a small jewelry business before becoming one of Turkey\u2019s largest companies in gold and energy trading. The firm had previously played a similar role in transporting gold from Venezuela to Turkey in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report comes as the war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces continues since April 2023, leaving more than 150,000 people dead and displacing over 12 million, according to UN estimates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A report published by The Washington Post revealed the involvement of Turkish companies in providing both warring sides in Sudan with weapons and military equipment, while other Turkish firms continue to refine and import Sudanese gold to Turkey despite the international arms trade sanctions imposed on Khartoum.
