Reliable reports have accused the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) of using chemical weapons against civilians, and claiming the lives of thousands as a result, invoking grave concerns about the inevitable rise in the death toll, amounting to hundreds of thousands in the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Informed sources reported that the Sudanese Army has resorted to using prohibited chemical weapons over the past two days in attacks described as amounting to the level of mass massacres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Investigations indicate that troops are positioned in high-rise buildings, firing large shells that emit thick smoke upon explosion. The Investigations confirmed that these weapons aren’t tear gas commonly used in a conventional manner during military operations, but rather deadly chemical weapons that directly target lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sudan Founding Alliance (Tasees), which includes more than (20) political parties, (10) civilian groups, and (5) military factions, including the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), expressed grave concern regarding the escalation of these violations, warning that the continued use of chemical weapons in densely populated areas, such as the capital, Khartoum, could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe, threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands, if not millions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amidst the escalation of such accusations, grave concerns have been expressed in regards to the safety of even SAF’s members, who are forced to work in dangerous conditions that normally require the use of protective equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sudan Founding Alliance called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to start an urgent investigation into the matter and hold the perpetrators of these crimes accountable. The Alliance also called for the intervention of international bodies and organizations to stop the ongoing violations and put forth efforts to contain the deteriorating humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tasees emphasized the need for the Sudanese Army to adhere to the International Humanitarian Law as well as the principles of human rights protection, warning that the continuation of such crimes will lead to further escalation and human suffering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
