National Movement For Reform and Development - Battle of Arm Yakui

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."

Famous quotes containing the words battle of, battle and/or arm:

    “The militancy of men, through all the centuries, has drenched the world with blood, and for these deeds of horror and destruction men have been rewarded with monuments, with great songs and epics. The militancy of women has harmed no human life save the lives of those who fought the battle of righteousness. Time alone will reveal what reward will be allotted to women.”
    —Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928)

    “Oh, who will now be able to relate how Pantagruel behaved in face of these three hundred giants! Oh my muse, my Calliope, my Thalie, inspire me now, restore my spirits, because here is the ass’s bridge of logic, here is the pitfall, here is the difficulty of being able to describe the horrible battle undertaken.”
    —François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    “If your arm is broken, hide it in your sleeve.”
    —Chinese proverb.
