Sudan Uses Chemical Weapons... Where's the US War Cry?
The New Arab highlights a damning report: the Sudanese army allegedly used chlorine gas twice in Khartoum in 2024, a clear violation of international law. According to the Sudan War Monitor, these attacks occurred in Soba al-Arda in Omdurman on March 17 and in the Sharg al-Nil Hospital area on March 27. When other nations are accused of using chemical weapons, the US and its allies are usually
quick to convene emergency UN sessions and threaten intervention. (Remember Syria?) Yet, for Sudan, the response from Washington remains muted. One might wonder if the outrage-o-meter only goes off when it's politically convenient or when a nation has a geopolitical adversary's number on speed dial. This silence isn't just baffling; it's a glaring double standard that quietly greenlights
atrocities when they don't fit a predetermined narrative, revealing how geopolitical interests, not humanitarian concern, often dictate the drumbeat of condemnation.
