July 15 (Bloomberg) -- Rebel fighters in Darfur said they're planning a new attack on Sudan's capital because the government isn't committed to peace in the war-torn region.
The rebel faction known as the Justice and Equity Movement, led by Khalil Ibrahim, also welcomed the International Criminal Court's announcement yesterday that it plans to indict Sudanese President Umar al-Bashir on war crimes charges. ``It's a great moment for the people of Darfur,'' Tahir el Faki, the movement's legislative commander, said in a telephone interview today from Darfur.
On May 10, JEM rebels entered the town of Omdurman, across the Nile river from Khartoum. Sudan's official news agency said more than 200 people were killed in the assault, the Associated Press reported on May 13. At least 100 people were arrested after the attack, including Islamist opposition leader Hassan al-Turabi, according to New York-based Human Rights Watch.
