KHARTOUM — Darfur rebels fought Sudanese troops in a suburb of Khartoum yesterday in a bid to seize power, but the government said the attack on the capital was defeated.
It was the first time fighting reached the city in decades of conflict between the traditionally Arab-dominated central government of Africa's biggest country and rebels from peripheral regions that complain of neglect.
Heavy gunfire and artillery shook Omdurman, across the River Nile from the heart of Khartoum. Helicopters and armored vehicles headed for the fighting and an overnight curfew was declared.
