Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) spokesman declared its splinter faction JEM-Bashar, ambushed them in North Darfur on Friday with the support of pro-government militias.<\/p>\n

The group led by Mohamed Bashar Ahmed broke away from JEM last year and soon after began direct negotiations with the Sudanese government.<\/p>\n

Both parties signed a peace treaty in Doha earlier this month and its members were assigned positions within the Sudanese army and government.<\/p>\n

Jibril Adam Bilal, spokesman of JEM which claims not having any links with JEM-Bashar, said his movement was ambushed by the breakaways and militias near water wells in Jebel Darma.<\/p>\n

He claims JEM managed to repel the attack and defeat the splinter faction and militants before taking control of JEM-Bashar\u2019s main camp in Jebel Darma.<\/p>\n

Many vehicles and equipment were seized, the spokesman said, although a complete inventory is underway.<\/p>\n

Radio Dabanga could not immediately contact JEM-Bashar for comments.<\/p>\n
