Battle of Arm Yakui
On January 28, 2006, NMRD attacked a Sudanese military base in Arm Yakui in western Darfur, killing 78 soldiers, and taking 17 prisoner . The Sudan People's Armed Forces killed two, and injured five, rebels, saying the attack "came suddenly from inside Chadian territory, and we returned fire with the same force using artillery."
The NMRD operates along the Chad-Sudan border.
Abdallah accuses the United Front for Democratic Change Chadian rebel alliance of fighting alongside the Sudanese army.
"We don't understand why they are doing this. We have no problem with Mahamat Nour."
Nour denied UFDC involvement in the battle, "Our forces were nearby but they did not participate in the attack."
