ReutersThe United States will impose new sanctions on Sudan after using Chemical Weapons (RSF) Chemical Weapons last year, according to the Foreign Ministry.
The US exports to the country will be restricted from June 6th and the financial loan boundaries will be introduced, an explanation of the spokesman Tammy Bruce.
A spokesman for the Sudanese government condemned the move of Washington and described him as “deliberate falsification of facts in relation to the situation in Sudan”.
Both the Sudanese military and the paramilitary group of the RSF were previously accused of war crimes during the conflict.
During the conflict, more than 150,000 people were killed, which began two years ago when the Sudan’s army and the RSF began a malignant struggle for power.
In the past few months, the military of Sudan has recaptured the capital of Khartoum, but the fights continue elsewhere.
No details were presented about which chemical weapons the USA said, but the New York Times reported in January that Sudan used chlorine gas twice, which caused a number of painful and harmful effects and could be fatal.
This is said to have been in remote areas that were not named. No visual evidence was shared that the proof of weapons in the current war was used in Sudan.
“The United States calls on the government of Sudan to use all chemical weapons and maintain their obligations within the framework of the CWC,” says the explanation, with reference to the chemical convention of weapons, under which the signatories have undertaken to destroy their supplies to the weapons.
Almost every country in the world – including Sudan – has agreed to the CWC, according to the Army Control Association, a non -party membership organization that is based in the USA, apart from Egypt, North Korea and South Sudan. Israel has signed the agreement, but has not ratified its signature, which means that it has not legally confirmed its participation in the contract, the ACA adds.
“The United States are still obliged to take into account those who are responsible for the spread of chemical weapons,” added Bruce.
This is not the first time that the United States imposes sanctions in Sudan. In January they were exhibited against leaders of both parties that were involved in the conflict.
The military leader of Sudan, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, was accused of destabilizing the Sudan “and undermining the goal of a democratic transition by the United States, which the country’s Foreign Ministry condemned as” strange and disturbing “.
In the meantime, the head of RSF Mohammed Hamdan Daglo, also known as Hemedti, was committed by the former State Secretary Antony Blinking from the genocide in the country. The RSF denied these charges.
The competing forces have struggled for power in the past two years, suppressing around 12 million people and leaving 25 million food aids, more than twice as high as the population of London.
According to the AFP news agency, new sanctions will only affect the country due to these previous measures.
This latest US parade is conflict under tensions about the alleged participation of the United Arab Emirates. The VAE and the Sudan had maintained diplomatic bonds until the beginning of this month when the Sudanese government claimed that the VAE had made available to the RSF weapons, an claim that the VAE contested.
After the warm reception of US President Donald Trump in the golf state last week, the Democrats tried to block the sale of weapons from the USA to VAE, some of them due to his alleged participation.
A Sudanese diplomatic source informed the Reuters news agency that the United States had imposed the new sanctions “to distract the recent campaign in the congress against the VAE”.
At the beginning of this month, a top court rejected Sudan’s offer to sue the United Arab Emirates for genocide.
