A Sudanese gold mining company linked to the Russian mercenary Wagner Group has suspended operations because of conflict in the North African nation.

Al-Sawlaj Gold Mining Co. has been shuttered since mid-April and its Russian staff have been evacuated, Huweyda Mursal, a legal adviser to the company, said by phone. The company owns a gold-tailing processing facility near Atbara, a city 280 kilometers north of the capital, Khartoum.

Clashes erupted in Sudan five months ago when long-running tensions between the army and a paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces, exploded into a full-blown battle for control of the country. The conflict has left thousands of people dead and forced millions more to flee their homes, according to the United Nations.

The European Council in February said that Al-Sawlaj was “associated with” Meroe, which it described as a “cover entity for the Wagner Group’s operations in Sudan.” It didn’t explicitly sanction Al-Sawlaj, and the company denies any connection to the Russian group.
