Nimir Abdel Rahman told local media on Monday that they repelled an attack that SAF had launched on their positions in Jaldo which they control since Friday 28 December.<\/p>\n
He claimed they killed 75 soldiers and captured 11 vehicles and significant amount of arms and ammunition, adding they destroyed 25 vehicles.<\/p>\n
The remaining SAF troops fled in direction of Zalingei, the capital of the newly established Central Darfur state, he further said.<\/p>\n
Sudanese army did not react to the rebel statements.<\/p>\n
Last week the Sudanese defence minister, Abdel-Rahim Hussein told the parliament that SAF had re-seized the area from the rebels.<\/p>\n
But Nimir stressed in his statements to local media that Monday\u2019s attack was the first attempt from the government army to retake Jaldo.<\/p>\n
“Actually the army want to retake Golo,” Nimir said.<\/p>\n
Golo, which is located Central Darfur state near Nirtiti town, is under the control of the SLM-AW rebels since the 24 December.<\/p>\n
The rebel spokesperson also said the Sudanese military planes carried out different air raids in the area and villagers were forced to flee their homes hide in the mountains.<\/p>\n
“Also many civilians were killed and now we do not have the exact number of those killed following the aerial bombing”, he added.<\/p>\n
