Sudanese army attacks rebels in North Darfur

KHARTOUM-Sudan's army has begun a massive operation to wipe out rebel bases in Darfur's far north, two Darfur rebel factions said on Wednesday.The army attacked with more than 200 vehicles in Wadi Atron, near the Sudanese-Libyan border on Tuesday and took control of areas which had for years been under the control of rebels who want more autonomy for the region."They came with more than 200 vehicles and killed seven people," commander Suleiman Marajan told Reuters from Darfur. He is from the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) faction led by founder Abdel Wahed Mohamed el-Nur."They attacked our areas in Wadi Atron with a massive force," said al-Sayyid Sherif from the rival Sudan Liberation Army (Unity) faction."We consider this a new declaration of war."The army spokesman declined to immediately comment. One army source confirmed there were operations under way but could not give details.Marajan said the government had moved in Chinese workers who were looking for oil in the remote area. North Darfur is part of Sudan's oil Block 12A operated by a consortium led by the Saudi Arabian company al-Qahtani. Chinese companies dominate Sudan's budding oil sector which produces more than 500,000 barrels per day of crude.
