Sudan City Stormed By Darfur Rebels -- Al Jazeera
Rebel fighters seeking to topple president storm Um Rawaba and say they are heading to Khartoum.
Rebels from Sudan's Darfur region have attacked a city in a neighbouring state, taking their fight closer to Khartoum.
Fighters stormed Um Rawaba, in North Kordofan state, about 500km south of the capital, but denied accusations of pillaging.
Al Jazeera's Harriet Martin, reporting from Khartoum, said witnesses reported seeing rebels looting a market and several banks during the attack on Saturday.
Martin said the attack comes in the wake of increased fighting in South Darfur over the past few weeks, which has displaced thousands of people.
