Videos show the Sudanese army's use of chlorine gas as a weapon
The recent allegations against the Sudanese army for using chlorine gas as a weapon in its conflict with the Rapid Support Forces have raised serious concerns. While the US has accused the army of deploying chemical weapons, they have not provided evidence to back their claims, and the Sudanese army has denied the accusations. However, video evidence documented by the FRANCE 24 Observers team shows incidents where chlorine barrels were dropped from the air near Khartoum. This situation is critical as international law prohibits the use of such chemical agents in warfare, highlighting the need for accountability and adherence to global standards.
