Former watchdog officials further reveal Sudan Armed Forces' use of chemical weapons

Former senior officials of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) have corroborated earlier reports that the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) have used chemical weapons in attacks between 2024 and 2025. In an interview with Euronews, the OPCW witnesses described credible incidents involving unexplained illness following military activity and provided evidence of barrel-shaped objects, unfamiliar odours, strange emissions, and explosives, as well as acute respiratory symptoms and changes to vegetation nearby.
