Toxic Allegations
In the tangled web of Sudan’s civil war, new allegations of chemical weapons’ use have emerged, casting a long and troubling shadow over a conflict that has already claimed over 150,000 lives.
Chairman of Sudan’s Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Wednesday said that the government forces have retaken all buildings of the General Intelligence Service (GIS), which were seized on Tuesday by a rebellious security force.
“All headquarters of the GIS’s Operations Authority are under control of the armed forces,” said al-Burhan at a press conference, Xinhua news agency reported.
