Amjad Farid Rejects US Accusation of Chemical Weapons Use by Sudanese Army

Dr. Amjad Farid, an adviser to Sudan’s Sovereignty Council on political affairs and foreign relations, rejected the US accusation that the Sudanese army had used chemical weapons, describing it as misplaced.

Farid also stressed that mechanisms exist to hold members of the Sudanese Armed Forces and allied forces accountable for crimes or violations.

He said those mechanisms apply to both soldiers and officers, with cases subject to proceedings before military or civilian courts.

Referral to retirement was another measure he cited. His remarks presented accountability as extending beyond the regular army to forces aligned with it.

The summary of his comments did not identify specific cases or provide details supporting his rejection of the chemical weapons accusation.
