Sudan's Alleged Use of Chemical Weapons

The Institute for Security Studies published on 11 October 2016 a commentary titled "Think Again: Sudan Is the Exception that Proves the Rule on Chemical Warfare in Africa" by Simon Allison.

The commentary discusses the charge put forward by Amnesty International that Sudan has used chemical weapons in Darfur. It notes the Sudan government's denial of the charge but leaves the impression that chemical weapons were likely used.
