Sudan’s military built a secret stockpile of up to 290 chlorine munitions and moved to conceal it following attacks in 2024, according to a Washington Post investigation. A text message to a military officer involved in airstrikes included video of an apparent victim with charred skin, accompanied by the words: “Your cooking.” The investigation indicates the stockpile was constructed before the current conflict, which began in April 2023, between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Newsmax reported the same findings from the Washington Post investigation. The purpose of the stockpile remains unclear, but the concealment efforts suggest an attempt to distance the military from the weapons. The Washington Post reports that the video of the victim was sent in connection with the airstrikes, implying a possible use of the chemical weapons. No right-leaning outlet reported this story beyond mirroring the Washington Post investigation.
