New evidence reveals the Sudanese army's involvement in the use of chemical weaponsLeaked videos have revealed new evidence proving the Sudanese army's involvement in the use of internationally banned chemical weapons in the war against the Rapid Support Forces.
This comes less than two days after the United States imposed sanctions on Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan over violations committed by his forces and allied militias in the war that is approaching its second year.
Newly circulated videos showed Sudanese army personnel wearing chemical poisoning masks and firing gas capsules containing internationally banned mustard gas, targeting residential areas under the control of the Rapid Support Forces.
In another clip, a Sudanese military officer appeared bragging about what he described as a “deadly weapon” as if it were an “Ababil bird,” which was “marked” poisonous gas capsules, as he put it.
The officer said in a message that comes in the context of the threat, that the soldiers assigned to use this weapon are war engineers, as they direct the "capsule" towards its target and it reaches him even in the place where he is "showering."
A New York Times report, citing US intelligence officials, said the Sudanese army had used chemical weapons against the Rapid Support Forces twice.
They pointed out that the army intends to deploy more of these internationally banned weapons in many areas, which threatens the lives of civilians.
