The world can be left without coca-cohamys, chocolates and yoghurts because

To spread: the whole thing to the Humarabic, a natural emulsifier used in everything: from Coca-Cola to Danone yoghurts, M & MS candy, medicines and cosmetics. Sudan's war has jeopardized the production of food and cosmetics around the world, in particular. The paramilitary RSF group in Sudan controls a key ingredient for the production of carbonated water and chocolates - Humiarabic, or, as it is called "Arabian gum". Bloomberg writes about it.

Hummiabic, sticky wood juice, acts as an organic emulsifier in consumer goods and household brands around the world. The Sudan militia, which the US is accused of genocide, controls the main parts of the supply chain. After all, Sudan produces 70% of this ingredient. Chishama Salicha Jaguba AFRITEC is one of the largest suppliers. And he paid thousands of dollars in the warrioned group operating in Sudan to deliver trucks with Gumiarabica to the port.

Also read with the aggressor: Ukraine marked the red lines for any peace agreement with Putin "should take into account the reality": in the United States they will return the occupied Russian territory of Ukraine "Chechens mainly": because of the missile stroke of the Armed Forces, the Cadyrivtsi were drawn to the land.

Kursk, - Forbes "Gianzhavidam has to pay a lot of money," said Jagub about the Rapid Support Forces police, which the United States in January was accused of committing genocide in the civil war, which resulted in 12 million people, and at least 150,000 killed. He says he regularly pays them about $ 2500 for a truck. And when drivers are hostage - even more.

Hummiabic grows throughout Africa - from Senegal to Kenya - but millions of acacia trees that grow in a sandy belt of 200,000 square miles in the south of Sudan, which is largely controlled by RSF, is the heart of production. Now, two years after the beginning of the war in Sudan, which provoked the world's largest humanitarian crisis, the Sudan chain in Sudan cannot be tracked. "If the Humiarabic disappeared, Coca-Cola would stop working.

It would not be Coca-Cola," said Maisar Elavaad, a commercial consultant for Albakry Factory for Packing & Preparing Gum Arabic, which exports about 4000 tonnes annually. The companies used in Arabian gum or gave up comments like Coca-Cola, or responded to NESTLE. The natural emulsifier is produced mostly in Darfur, Northern and Western Cordaphane areas, and then exported to Europe and the United States.

"Now is the real question of supply: how do they happen? Is it related to the receipt of gumiarabica with violence and abuse of communities and farmers? Probably the answer is yes" - said Tedd George, a consultant from Kleos Advisory, a consulting company specializing in goods in African markets. The RSF representative denies that his fighters are robbing or demanding money from Gumiarabica suppliers.

However, journalists point out that RSF burned the acacia groves, killed farmers and looted thousands of gum from warehouses in the capital of Sudan Hartumi - including 3000 tons from Africate, according to Jagub. According to Bashir Al-Kinani, a member of the Sudan Chamber of Commerce and the Sudan Humarabic Association, more than 30,000 tons of this valuable ingredient have been looted since the beginning of the war.

This means that, as if the Humarabik did not leave Sudan, he probably enriches persons related to war crimes. Hummiabic has been used for millennia: as a glue in the Stone Age in Africa, in the paints of Chinese scholars of the Neolithic, to embalms the mummies of Egyptian Pharaohs and to strengthen the lipstick used by Queen Elizabeth I and Cleopatra. Greeks used it to treat ulcers; Old masters - including Rembrandt - for mixing their paints.

In recent decades, it has become so important to the world food companies that they have successfully lobbied the Bill Clinton administration to withdraw the Gumiarabic from the regime of large -scale sanctions imposed against Sudan in 1997 for sponsoring of terrorism and granting the reflection to the existence of Ben Laden.

Companies, including Cargill, have developed synthetic alternatives, but they have not replaced a natural gumiarabic that continues to flow from Sudan against the background of current atrocities-either from Port Sudan or smuggling through neighboring countries. Recall that the world coffee industry has encountered serious problems because of a sharp jump in coffee grains.
