In a statement released by its spokesperson Mubarak Ardol, the
government troops moved on Tuesday evening from the Ed Damazin
garrison towards the positions of the SPLM-N Agar forces in of the
Ingessana Hills southwest of the Blue Nile State capital.
Ardol further stressed that these troops are now stationed near the
frontline bases of the SPLA-N fighters.
"Our forces monitor closely these aggressor forces and will retaliate
in the event of any attack in self-defence. But the SPLM/A will remain
committed to the cessation of hostilities," he said.
The rebel official described the movement of the government forces as
" an act of hostility and a flagrant violation of the declaration of
the cessation of hostilities" adding the declaration prevents any
military movement even for the purposes of intelligence surveillance.
The Sudanese government and the SPLM-N are committed to a cessation of
hostilities since more than a year. Khartoum extended the truce until
October while the SPLM-N Agar until November of this year.
The SPLM-N split into two groups last April one led by Agar and the
other headed by al-Hilu. However, the latter insists that there is not
division but a change of leadership and the group remain intact.
While the Agar faction says ready to negotiate a humanitarian
agreement, al-Hilu refuses and negotiations before general conference
he plans to hold next October.
