We will fight in Khartoum

JEM deputy chief of staff Suleiman Sandal said the movement had decided to abandon the fight in Darfur and take the battle to the capital.
"We will no longer fight in Darfur and the desert, we will fight in Khartoum," Sandal said, adding that he was speaking from Omdurman.
