Kamel Omar Abdel Salam, political secretary of Sudan’s Popular Congress Party, said the party’s warning about chemical weapons is based on traces and effects observed in multiple areas of the country. Speaking to Erem News, he argued these signs indicate the introduction of a banned weapon not seen in Sudan’s previous wars.
Abdel Salam said mounting calls for a neutral, international investigation have been repeatedly rejected by the Port Sudan–based SAF junta, which he contends strengthens suspicions and leaves civilians at risk amid a lapsed constitutional order and a deepening security crisis.
He added that the evidence of use is now “direct,” yet the authorities are preoccupied with appointing officials such as a prosecutor general and a constitutional court chief despite what he described as the absence of a valid constitution since the Oct. 25 coup and the outbreak of war.
He concluded that the Port Sudan junta’s decisions lack legal legitimacy and that its insistence on war—alongside alleged chemical-weapons use—has sharply worsened Sudan’s situation.
