Which -in turn- exposed the military establishment to accusations of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s9\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s9\">The video, which has been widely circulated in recent hours, shows leaked clips from closed training camps showing members of the Sudanese Army and Security Service receiving practical guidance on the use of deadly chemical agents -including but not limited to; Mustard Gas (Sulfur Mustard) and Lewisite, which are prohibited under International Law and Chemical Weapons Conventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s9\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s9\">According to the documentary, these training exercises were part of a systematic plan to target marginalized areas that had fallen out of regime control during the war that has been raging since (April 2023), particularly in the states of Darfur, South Kordofan, Khartoum, and the Blue Nile. The investigation indicated that these weapons were indeed used in a number of attacks, amidst a media blackout and systematic attempts to conceal evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.assayha.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/\u0627\u0644\u062c\u064a\u0634-\u0648\u0627\u0644\u0627\u0633\u0644\u062d\u0629-\u0627\u0644\u0643\u064a\u0645\u064a\u0627\u0626\u064a\u0629.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s9\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s9\">The video features direct testimonies from defectors from the Sudanese Army, who spoke of high-level orders to carry out mass liquidations using internationally prohibited chemical weapons. As these weapons leave no visible traces on the victims and lead to slow death from internal burns or lung erosion \u2014the latter are symptoms documented in medical reports from conflict zones in recent months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s9\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s9\">In addition, the documentary revealed internal memos and leaked security reports confirming coordination between the Army leadership and&nbsp;Intelligence Agencies regarding the development of these weapons and their use as a confidential tool of repression against civilians, in a manner that evades international scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s9\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s9\">The video sparked a wave of anger and shock in human rights and political circles, which promptly invoked urgent calls for a transparent and independent international investigation, under the supervision of the United Nations and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), in an effort to hold the perpetrators accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s9\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s9\">The latest revelation is considered the most serious of its kind since Amnesty International&#8217;s 2016 report, which documented the use of internationally prohibited chemical weapons by the Sudanese Armed Forces in Jebel Marra. Nevertheless, the new visual evidence and confirmation of official training are pushing the case toward a new phase of documentation and international criminal accountability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a development that served to redirect attention to the issue of international crimes committed in Sudan, a new documentary has aired shocking footage documenting secret training within the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) as well as the Security and Intelligence battalions, on the use of internationally prohibited chemical weapons in operations targeting defenseless civilians.
