Town attacked despite peace pact
- Share via
Sudanese forces attacked a southern Darfur town controlled by the only rebel group that signed a peace deal last year with the government.
The attack could deepen rebel mistrust ahead of peace talks in Libya this month. It also appeared to be an expansion of an offensive the military has been waging in northern Darfur, despite promises for a cease-fire.
Battles took place in Muhajeria, a town controlled by the Sudan Liberation Movement.
