Egyptian writer accuses Egypt of training Sudanese forces in chemical warfare

Egyptian writer Khairallah has accused the Egyptian military regime of training Sudanese officers to use chemical weapons against the Sudanese people. He condemned recent airstrikes attributed to the Egyptian Air Force, which allegedly targeted gold miners inside Sudanese territory, characterizing the actions as grave violations and a breach of sovereignty. This follows previous U.S. sanctions imposed on Sudan in 2025 and 2026 after findings that the Sudanese Armed Forces utilized prohibited chemical weapons.

Khairallah dismissed Cairo's justification that the strikes targeted individuals inside Egyptian territory, citing video evidence to the contrary. He questioned the motives behind these actions, suggesting that elements within the Egyptian military are seeking to exploit Sudan’s natural resources by aligning with specific Sudanese military factions. The writer urged international human rights advocates to document these incidents, emphasizing that such crimes against civilians must face legal scrutiny and accountability.
