UNITED STATES IMPOSES SANCTIONS ON SUDAN OVER USE OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS

United States to impose sanctions on Sudan after findings revealed the Sudanese government used chemical weapons during its conflict with the Rapid Support Forces.
The decision made under U.S. law in April, found the government in violation of the international Chemical Weapons Convention. The sanctions are set to take effect around June 6 and will include restrictions on U.S. exports and government-backed credit.
Sudan has strongly denied the allegations, calling them false and politically motivated. U.S. officials say the chemical weapons were likely chlorine gas, reportedly used at least twice in remote areas last year.
the U.S. had earlier imposed sanctions on key military figures, Army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, accusing both sides of committing war crimes and atrocities during the conflict.
