KHARTOUM (Reuters) – Sudan's army said it seized a key rebel stronghold in Darfur and killed 108 insurgents late on Friday, dealing a heavy blow to already floundering peace talks in the remote western region.
The rebel Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) dismissed the report, saying it had withdrawn from the Jabel Moun area voluntarily days earlier to spare the population government bombing raids and shelling.
But it said other recent clashes showed Sudan's government had chosen to go back to war and the chances of finding a negotiated solution were "very remote."
