Govt accused of using chemical weapons in Darfur

Dozens of children in Darfur have allegedly been killed by chemical weapons dropped on them by their own government, it is claimed.
Amnesty International say the children are among more than 200 people estimated to have been killed by the banned weapons since January.
Those affected by the “poisonous smoke” vomit blood, struggle to breathe and watch as their skin falls off.
The Sudanese government has said the allegations are baseless.
“The allegations of use of chemical weapons by Sudanese Armed Forces is baseless and fabricated,” Sudan’s UN Ambassador Omer Dahab Fadl Mohamed said, quoted by Reuters.
“The ultimate objective of such wild accusation, is to steer confusion in the ongoing processes aimed at deepening peace and stability and enhancing economic development and social cohesion in Sudan.”
