‘SAF formation routed in South Kordofan’: Sudan Rebels

Forces of the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) claim to have defeated elements of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) on Tuesday near Umm Berimbita and Khor Adeleb in South Kordofan. Speaking to Radio Dabanga from the field, the deputy head of the rebel-aligned Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), Mohamed Al Beel Issa Zayyed, said that as a result of the clash the rebels have defeated an SAF formation, captured some government soldiers and commandeered some military vehicles. The exact details of the rebel haul are still being assessed. “The remaining government troops fled to Umm Berimbita and Khor Adeleb,” Zayyed said. He assured that the rebels did not attack or rob citizens during the engagement: “We are against the National Congress Party. Our objective is to topple the Khartoum regime, and hand Omar Al Bashir over to the International Criminal Court.” Radio Dabanga was unable to independently verify these reports. File photo
