Sudan: Intelligence Documents Reveal Use of Chlorine by the Army

Leaked intelligence files analyzed by The New York Times and The Washington Post reveal that the Sudanese army, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, developed and used chemical weapons based on chlorine against Rapid Support Forces positions in Khartoum and surrounding areas. The documents include photos, videos, and messages exchanged among senior officials, exposing diverted supply chains, notably through an Indian trader passing through Jeddah. Victim testimonies and expert reports confirm the use of these weapons, with symptoms of chlorine poisoning. The traceability indicates that civilian chlorine intended for water purification was diverted for offensive military use.
