US Imposes Second Round of Sanctions on Sudan Over Chemical Weapons Allegations
The United States has imposed a second round of sanctions on Sudan, citing its own independent technical analysis that Sudanese armed forces used banned chemical weapons during internal conflict, violating the Chemical Weapons Convention. Washington rejects Sudan's internal investigation, insisting on an independent probe by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). The US emphasizes that local investigations cannot substitute for international verification and warns of consequences if Sudan fails to comply. Humanitarian aid remains exempt from sanctions.
