Darfur rebels said on Tuesday that they had seized control of a Chinese-run oilfield in Sudan, in the second such attack targeting Khartoum’s main arms supplier and oil client in as many months.
“We attacked the oilfield of Rahaw this morning at 6:00 am (0300 GMT) and took control of the facility” in the south Kordofan region, Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) commander Abdel Aziz Nur al-Ashr told AFP by telephone.
A Sudanese military spokesman acknowledged that some 20 rebels had attacked an army camp near an oil facility and seized a Chinese oil company vehicle but insisted that the attackers had fled as soon as they met resistance. [Full Text]
