United States Imposes Sanctions on Sudan Over Chemical Weapons Allegations
The U.S. government announced new restrictive measures against Sudan's military-led administration following reports of chemical weapons usage in the ongoing conflict with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The sanctions include a ban on Sudanese state-owned airlines using U.S. airspace and new restrictions on export financing. This move comes as Washington expresses growing impatience with General Burhan's reluctance to engage in ceasefire negotiations. Sudan has dismissed the chemical weapons claims as baseless fabrications designed to influence the peace process.
