Darfur: Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) rebels attacked army garrison in North Darfur
Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) said Saturday they repelled an attack by the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) in North Darfur state and killed 45 members of the assailant rebel force.
After long months of relative calm since the signing of framework document to end the nine-year conflict in western Sudan in July 2011, Darfur is gradually becoming again a theatre of violence between rebel groups and the government forces.
Yesterday’s assault comes after previous attacks carried by the two main factions of the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM). Also different sources confirm that rebels are gathering on the border between Sudan and South Sudan, near East, South and West Darfur states.
