Sudan's government has again rejected claims made by the United States' representative before the UN Security Council that the Sudanese Armed Forces used chemical weapons in the country's ongoing conflict. Khartoum's government said the allegations were not backed by concrete evidence.
Sudan's representative at the UN stressed that the country remains bound by international arms-control agreements and described the claims as unfounded. The government noted that similar accusations have been raised before and rejected each time.
Sudan has been gripped by civil war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces for more than two years. The fighting has displaced millions of people across the country and triggered a severe humanitarian crisis.
