Multiple U.S. officials reported that Sudan's military deployed chemical weapons on two occasions against rival paramilitary groups.
While these attacks occurred in remote areas, the potential for use in densely populated areas like Khartoum is alarming.
Consequently, the U.S. will sanction Sudan's military leader for his army's numerous war crimes against civilians.
This escalation marks another tragic chapter in Sudan's brutal civil war, which has already created a major humanitarian catastrophe.
