The Sudanese Alliance for Rights has filed a legal case before the International Criminal Court (ICC) against four senior leaders of the Port Sudan Authority, including Chairman of the Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, accusing them of using chemical weapons and committing serious violations against civilians.

The lawsuit targets army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Yasser al-Atta, Shams al-Din al-Kabashi, and Major General Taher Mohammed, urging the ICC to launch an urgent investigation and hold the officials accountable, in collaboration with a team of international lawyers.
