The United States will reduce exports to Sudan and government credit lines after determining prohibited weapons were used in the conflict between governmental forces and RSF.
The United States will impose sanctions to Sudan after determining that the country’s army used chemical weapons last year while fighting for paramilitary forces.
“The United States asks the Sudan Government to cease all the uses of chemical weapons and maintain their obligations” under the Convention of Chemical Weapons, said Thursday the spokesman for the United States Department of the United States in a statement on Thursday.
Bruce said that the United States Congress has been notified of the decision of state departments, and the sanctions will be imposed around June 6.
They will include US export restrictions to Sudan and a blockade of access to the US government lines. UU. Bruce’s statement did not include more details about when and where Sudanese government forces used chemical weapons.
The New York Times reported in January that government forces had used chemical weapons at least two times in remote parts of Sudan against the Paramilitary Fast Support forces (RSF). The report cited unidentified American officials who said the weapon may have been chlorine gas, which can cause severe respiratory pain and death.
The Sudan Army and the RSF have been locked in a civil war since April 2023 after a power struggle between the two parties.
The conflict has created one of the humanitarian crises of sausages in the world and a famine in Suran, killing thousands and displacing 13 million people.
The United States also accused the RSF and its allies of committing genocide, and sanctioned the main leaders such as the RSF chief, General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
In January, the United States also sanctioned the military chief of Sudan and the head of de facto state, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, for refusing to participate in international peace conversations.
