Sudan faces renewed scrutiny over alleged chemical weapons use as war enters its fourth year
Sudan's war has entered its fourth year, with millions of people displaced and the country facing one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Now, allegations that Sudan's military has used chemical weapons are coming under renewed scrutiny. A New York Times investigation has detailed a dossier containing documents, photographs, videos and intercepted communications that appear to show the development and production of chlorine-based munitions in 2024. Sudan's military rejects the allegations as baseless, while the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons says it is seeking clarification. Earlier this year, a France 24 investigation also reported strong evidence of chlorine gas being used as a weapon in Sudan.
