Sudan Chemical Weapons: New leaked files and U.S. media investigations again put Sudan’s Armed Forces under scrutiny, alleging a secret chlorine-gas weapons program, including bomb designs, testing, and use near Khartoum in 2024, with claims that senior commanders were aware—while Khartoum denies any toxic agents were used. International Accountability: A separate EU-focused report says independent verification is being blocked even as the U.S. and EU tighten sanctions and push for accountability, keeping the chemical-weapons debate at the center of Sudan diplomacy. Diplomatic Push for Dialogue: In Cairo, Arab League chief Nabil Fahmy met Sudan’s foreign minister, Mohi El-Din Salem, urging conditions for a Sudanese-led political dialogue, while stressing humanitarian access and support for stability and sovereignty. Regional Security Framing: At the Arab League ministerial session, Egypt called for new Arab security arrangements and de-escalation, while Tunisia emphasized Arab solidarity and Palestinian rights—signals that Sudan’s conflict remains tied to wider regional politics. Human Rights Pressure on Allies: Human Rights Watch urged Germany’s leaders to publicly confront the UAE’s human-rights record and alleged role in Sudan, citing a UN fact-finding mission linking UAE-linked networks to RSF abuses.
