[edited text of a report published by Sudan Tribune on 22 December]
The Justice and Equality Movement [JEM] has warned it will very soon launch attacks on the positions of the Sudanese government in all Sudanese towns and called on soldiers of the army to join them.
The JEM's deputy general commander, Sulayman Sandal, urged in a press statement released today the Sudanese people to remain away from the military positions in all the Sudanese cities and to stay at home because "our attack against these cities is imminent”. The statement went on to warn that this warning "extends to all diplomatic missions and embassies" so as to enable them to take the necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of their employees and properties.
In a second separate statement, the JEM's Secretary for Political Affairs Ahmad Tugud called on the Sudanese soldiers to join the rebel movement adding "you are not our enemies." He also pledged to retain their salaries, rights and positions in the army.
SOR notes that rumors of imminent attacks by the JEM started to fly around since last week when the Sudanese media carried reports on correspondences exchanged between the government and the UNAMID on movement by JEM’s troops in North Darfur State.
