Sudanese Armed Forces aim to threaten rebel activities in Darfur with reinforcements

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) warned all the armed Darfur rebel forces who would dare to break the region’s established security measures. SAF spokesperson, Col. Sawarmi Khalid, announced that the gathering of any rebel fronts, whether the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), Abdul Wahid or Minawi’s movements or any ally of theirs, would immediately become the target of the SAF. El-Sawarmi also announced the intensification of SAF troops across all sectors of Darfur’s three states, in addition to an increase of checkpoints and the doubling of the number of forces along the South Sudan border and border counties.
