The UN-AU Joint Peacekeeping Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) has warned of a possible attack by the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) against one of the major towns in Sudan including Khartoum.

In an internal document of which SOR has obtained a copy, UNAMID said it had received information at 1900 hrs local time from the Government of Sudan on movements by the JEM's troops in Northern Darfur. According to UNAMID, the final destination of the troops is yet to be known; however; the UNAMID warned that there was a possibility that Al-Fashir, El-Obeid or Khartoum may be targeted.
