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

Amjad Farid, an adviser to Sudan’s Sovereignty Council on political affairs and foreign relations, has rejected the United States’ accusation that the Sudanese army 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 soldiers and officers who commit such acts can face proceedings before military or civilian courts. He also cited retirement as a possible measure against personnel.

His remarks emphasised the availability of accountability procedures within Sudan. The summary of his comments did not identify specific cases or provide details of proceedings linked to the chemical weapons accusation.
