Chemical Weapons in Sudan: A Military Crime in Global Silence

In a grave and unprecedented escalation, mounting evidence suggests that the Sudanese military has used chemical weapons against civilians in several regions of the country. This constitutes a clear violation of international conventions and human rights law, yet the world remains eerily silent, ignoring the slow extermination of a people.

First-hand Accounts: A Deadly Gas Suffocating the Innocent

From North Darfur to the Omdurman area, eyewitness testimonies, video footage, and field reports have revealed widespread suffocation incidents, skin burns, and severe respiratory issues among civilians — particularly women and children — following heavy aerial bombardments conducted by the Sudanese military in recent weeks.

Residents of El-Fasher reported a “choking odor unlike regular smoke” filling the air after the strikes. Images showed victims lying motionless on the ground without any visible injuries — a recurring sign pointing to the use of toxic, internationally banned gases.

Karti’s Army and the Return of Dirty Warfare

Human rights advocates are increasingly accusing senior military figures — especially Islamist factions linked to Ali Karti — of resorting to dirty warfare tactics to subdue territories outside their control.

Observers argue that the repeated use of chemical weapons reflects the military’s growing loss of ground, forcing it to resort to chemical terror as a last-ditch strategy to maintain dominance.

With no independent investigations or international monitors granted access to affected areas, the current evidence is local and grassroots — but nonetheless enough to sound the alarm.

A Global Call: Silence Is No Longer an Option

Human rights organizations and members of the Sudanese diaspora are demanding the immediate launch of an international investigation, overseen by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), to document atrocities committed in Darfur, Khartoum, Kordofan, and beyond.

The international community’s silence in the face of these crimes risks rendering it complicit — or, at the very least, guilty of passive collusion.
Sudan is crying out: Save us from chemical warfare.
