Darfur Rebels Regret Internecine Clashes | |
2005-06-08 | |
The two main rebel groups in Sudan's war-torn Darfur expressed regret yesterday at recent clashes that left several civilians dead and highlighted their differences ahead of crucial talks with Khartoum. "We are deeply sorry and we extend our apology to the Darfurian people," Abdel Wahed Mohammed Ahmed Nur, the head of the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army, told AFP.
The AU mission accused the SLM/A of relentlessly targeting JEM rebels in the three Darfur states and said both groups were intensifying military operations to control the territory. Mahjoub Hussein, an SLM/A spokesman in London, admitted that the rebel organizations were jockeying for power on the ground ahead of the crunch peace talks in Abuja on Friday. | |

#1 So I guess this makes it all okay now? Except maybe for the dead folks... Looks like lots of this going around today. |
