Rebels from a Darfur region of Sudan attacked a town 300 miles southwest of Khartoum on Saturday. This is one of the boldest offensive attacks in years. The rebels are a group called the Justice and Equality Movement, or JEM, who attacked far outside of Darfur and South Kordofan State like they never have before. JEM is a member of the Sudan Revolutionary Front. The Sudan Revolutionary Front is an alliance of rebel groups who want to topple the government and Omar Hassan al-Bashir. The battle that began on Saturday between the JEM and Sudan's army is still going on.
