The Sudanese government has launched a major military offensive on rebel factions in Darfur, targeting bases used by at least two factions.
According to the Sudanese Liberation Army, a rebel group in conflict with the government, more than 250 vehicles and 500 Janjaweed fighters were involved in the attacks in northern Darfur.
The Janjaweed, a nomadic group of armed Arabic-speaking rebels, have played a major role in the Darfur region over the past decade as they have been involved in an on-going conflict with Sudanese rebels. The government has denied using the Janjaweed in Wednesday’s offensive.
At least nine rebels and nine civilians were killed in the clashes.
Sudan’s government has been trying to secure northern Darfur and clear out rebel bases so that they may launch oil exploration projects in the area.
