Two army troops were killed and a citizen injured on Thursday in an attack by a breakaway faction of the Justice and Equality Movement-Sudan (JEM-Sudan) on a military post in Karnoi, North Darfur.<\/p>\n

El Sadeg Yousif Zakariya, the spokesman for JEM-Sudan, told Radio Dabanga that \u201cthis afternoon, about 1 pm, combatants of the splinter group attacked a military post at the market of Karnoi\u201d. \u201cThe group operated in seven Land Cruisers, under the command of El Din Mousa.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the attack two soldiers were killed, and a citizen was injured. The attackers plundered a number of shops at the market too.<\/p>\n

The faction split from JEM-Sudan under the leadership of Abdallah Jana.  <\/p>\n

Zakariya strongly condemned the \u201cattempt by Abdallah Jana to confirm their presence on the ground\u201d, and called it \u201ca blow at peace and stability in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

JEM-Sudan (formerly JEM-Bashar) is itself a breakaway faction from the Justice and Equality Movement, currently led by Jibril Ibrahim. JEM-Sudan signed the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur in April 2013. Its former combatants will be integrated into the Sudan Armed Forces next month.<\/p>\n
