Government accuses rebels of violating cease-fire

    NAIROBI

    Khartoum on Monday accused southern rebels of violating a ceasefire by attacking an army convoy. Rebels ambushed the convoy in the southwestern Bahr al-Ghazal province, General Mohammed Osman Yassin told the state-run Omdurman Radio.

    He did not mention casualties or say when the clashes took
    place. In the second ambush, the Umma Liberation Army attacked a
    government army convoy on Saturday, just east of Kassala town (250 miles east of Khartoum) and took three officers prisoner, a statement by the military leadership of the opposition National Democratic Alliance said.
