New dossier sheds light on Sudan chemical weapons allegations
A dossier made public Saturday provided evidence that Sudan's military developed and used chemical weapons in the civil war. The materials, reported by The New York Times and The Washington Post and provided by Middle Eastern security officials, appear to show production and stockpiling of chlorine-based weapons for use against the Rapid Support Forces. The allegations build on an April 2025 US determination that Sudan's government used chemical weapons in 2024.
Why it matters: This relates to the theme of conflict and humanitarian crisis, as the use of chemical weapons adds to atrocities in a war that has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
