Videos show the Sudanese army’s use of chlorine gas as a weapon

On May 22, 2025, the US accused the Sudanese army of using chemical weapons in its war against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia. The US presented no evidence to support the allegations, which the Sudanese army denied. But the FRANCE 24 Observers team has documented two incidents in September 2024, north of Sudan’s capital Khartoum, where  video evidence shows that barrels containing chlorine were dropped from the air. International law bans the use of chlorine gas as a weapon.
