 Radio Dabanga report that the Sudan Liberation Movement under the leadership of Abdelwahid al-Nur (SLM- AW), claims that it has killed 17 gunmen and wounded a further 23 while repelling an attack in Touha Shalal, Tawila locality, North Darfur.

Walid Mohamed, a SLM-AW military spokesperson, said in a statement that the attack was launched by “government affiliated groups”. The statement stressed that “the repeated attacks” may push the SLM-AW to reconsider its decision to stop “hostilities” from its side, which it has been abiding by “despite repeated acts of aggression against SLM-AW in areas it controls”.

SLM-AW did not sign the Juba Peace Agreement
