Washington heightens tensions as Khartoum denies sanctions over chemicals
The United States has imposed new sanctions on Sudan based on allegations that its armed forces used chemical weapons during the ongoing war since April 2023 with the Rapid Support Forces. Khartoum denies these accusations, affirming its commitment to the Chemical Weapons Convention and its readiness to cooperate with international bodies to verify the allegations. The sanctions include restrictions on loans, technical assistance, and technological support. The economic and diplomatic impact is perceived to be greater than the immediate military effect, as they contribute to increasing Sudan's isolation and limiting its ability to access funding and engage in international business amid ongoing conflict and economic decline. The sanctions are expected to remain in place for at least a year, with Sudanese demands for their lifting once credible evidence is provided, while international pressures on Sudan continue to mount amidst the government’s rejection of the American accusations.
