Sudanese forces say they have seized control of a key rebel held area in the
western Darfur region after killing more than 150 members of the Justice and
Equality Movement (Jem).
"We have liberated Jebel Moon from the Justice and Equality Movement,"
Al-Sawarmi Khaled, an army spokesman, said on Saturday.
"We have detained 61 rebels and confiscated 16 cars and three large trucks."
The army gave no details of army casualties in the clashes.
The Sudanese government signed a framework peace pact with Jem in February,
which was hailed by the international community as a major step towards
bringing peace to Darfur after seven years of war.
But talks soon reached a stalemate and a deadline set for completing the
peace deal passed on March 15 without agreement.
Police convoy 'attacked'
The latest fighting came after police said 27 police officers and 30 rebels
had been killed on Thursday when Jem attacked a convoy in South Darfur.
According to police, Jem fighters "attacked a convoy carrying food destined
for the citizens of Darfur but the attack was thwarted by central police
forces who were protecting the convoy".
But Jem said it was acting in self-defence during Thursday's fighting.
"It is completely false. Our forces were defending themselves from attack by
the army which has intensified its operations since the end of elections" in
Sudan on April 15, Ahmed Hussein Adam, a Jem spokesman, told the AFP news
agency.
The latest violence seems to have dealt a further blow to the already shaky
peace talks between Jem and the government in Khartoum.
On Friday, Jem denied a UN mediator's claim that the group would resume the
Qatari-brokered peace talks.
Adam said the group was actually leaning towards quitting the negotiations
altogether.
"We are still suspending our participation in the negotiations, and we are
closer to withdrawing from the negotiations in Qatar," he told the AFP news
agency.
"We are in a true state of war after the government reneged on the ceasefire
agreement."
'Ceasefire violated'
Jem has accused Sudan's military of attacking its positions last month,
saying Khartoum was trying to impose a "military solution" to the conflict,
which the United Nations estimates has killed 300,000 people.
Khartoum, which says 10,000 people have died since the rebels took up arms in
2003, denied that the offensive took place.
Ismail al-Haj Musa, a leading member of the Sudan's ruling National Congress
Party, told Al Jazeera that claims that the government violated the ceasefire
agreement were "absolutely untrue".
"We always hear such false allegations from Jem to justify its return to
square one of war once again," he said.
"One can ask the UN and African Union observers on the ground to make sure
who has first violated ceasefire. They will say that Jem has.
"If Jem wants to go back to war, the Sudanese army and police are all
prepared and on alert to stop any offensive."
In another sign that peace efforts were deteriorating, Khartoum last week
sought Interpol's helpin arresting Khalil Ibrahim, the Jem leader, over a
2008 attack near Khartoum that killed 220 people.
Army build-up
Unamid, a joint peacekeeping mission by the UN and the African Union, has
said it has reports that Sudanese army and Jem fighters have been massing in
North Darfur state's Shangil Tobay area.
Hundreds of refugees have fled a camp near El Fasher, a government stronghold
and hub for aid workers and peacekeepers, as the rival forces gathered.
Approximately 70 per cent of the 2,000 people living in the New Shangil Tobay
Camp had left fearing clashes, Unamid said in a statement on Wednesday.
Two international sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters
there were signs Jem was moving south east through Darfur towards the
neighbouring region of South Kordofan, where it has attacked oilfields in the
past.
Al-Tahir al-Feki, a Jem official, confirmed the group had troops around
Shangil Tobay and South Kordofan but said they were on "administrative"
missions, holding talks with local leaders.
Sudan's army earlier this month accused Jem of attacking villages in West and
North Darfur states to expand its territory.
Jem was one of two rebel forces that launched a revolt against Sudan's
government in 2003, accusing it of starving Darfur of funding and
marginalising its population.
The desert region, which is the size of France, has been gripped by a civil
war since then and about 2.7 million have been displaced, according to the UN.

個人評論:
蘇丹軍隊與叛軍(J.E.M.正義與平等行動)在達佛發生戰役,衝突起因眾說紛紜,
蘇丹軍方認為JEM主動攻擊護送糧食的警察,因此以武力將其逐出城鎮,並說明自2003年
以來,叛軍已造成達佛地區數十萬民眾流離失所。JEM則認為政府軍不遵守先前的停火協
議,不斷地的迫害當地伊斯蘭教徒,認定此次衝突是政府軍另一次掃蕩行為。事實上,
當地少數遊牧民族與阿拉伯人大多是伊斯蘭教徒,然而過去震驚世界的達佛大屠殺,並
非單純的種族清洗或宗教敵對,背後仍有周遭國家對蘇丹的圖謀,使蘇丹總統巴席爾不
得不強勢鎮壓。此過度反應卻引來美國與聯合國的介入,並認定中國、伊朗等縱容蘇丹
的國家是助紂為虐。其實讓巴席爾苦惱的是鄰國查德與北非國家對JEM的支持,從蘇丹政
府的角度來看,今年2月底已達成的和平協議似乎無法降低叛軍進攻首都喀土木的意圖,
軍事手段若有必要,撕毀協議也在所不惜。達佛問題並非外界認為的只有種族歧視,國
家安全也是重要的威脅。
