The Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) warns it may abandon peace talks following a military crackdown on its stronghold by the Sudanese government.
Ahmad Hussein Adam, the spokesperson of JEM said on Friday that the Sudanese government used helicopters and gunships to attack the groups` positions in Jebel Jalik, located 25km South of Jebel Marra in Western Darfur state.
The government has put an end to the ceasefire with the never-ending aggressions on JEM positions, Adam said.
“The aggressions have put an end to the peace process and we will evaluate the situation at a time when an all-out war is launched against us,” he added.
JEM signed an accord with Khartoum in Doha on February 23, billed as an important step toward peace in the restive region of Darfur.
Meanwhile, Ahmad Tugud Lisan, JEM's main negotiator in peace talks with the Sudanese government, struck a milder tone with regard to the group's threat by saying that “we have not decided yet if we would pull out of the Doha process.”
The Sudanese army spokesman Sawami Khaled Saad shrugged off accusations that the government was engaged in attacking JEM positions in the Jebel Moon Region.
Darfur, a remote region of Western Sudan, roughly the size of France, has been mired in a civil war since 2003. According to the UN, some 300,000 people have been killed and another 2.7 millions have been displaced due to sectarian strife in the region.
