Al-Burhan faces crisis over chemical weapons
The United States has imposed new sanctions on the Sudanese army led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, following accusations of using chemical weapons in the fighting in Sudan. The sanctions include suspending all foreign aid and military funding, halting arms sales and defense cooperation, which deepens economic isolation and limits access to external financing. This move is likely to increase the costs of ongoing conflict and place greater international pressure on al-Burhan. Experts see this step as an indication of a shift in Washington’s policy, as it appears to be moving towards withdrawing political support from al-Burhan amid growing evidence of chemical weapon use. This development complicates efforts for a political solution, undermines the legitimacy of the military government, and pushes Sudanese authorities toward more exhausting paths both legally and politically.
