12 deaths, 2 injuries in clashes among SLM soldiers in Darfur
 Up to 12 died and two were injured in clashes among members of a Darfur rebel group in the area of Tawela in northern Darfur region. A field general of the Sudanese Liberation movement (SLM) said in a statement to the press that the clashes were caused by an attack led by Mini Arkoi forces against the Abdulwahed Mohamed Noor forces. Leader Jabara Allah Ishaq said that forces under Arkoi attacked them and caused the death of 12 on both sides as well as several injuries.The SLD is one of two rebel groups in Darfur controlling large parts of the region and was considered to be the first to declare rebellion against the government in February 2003. The movement saw some major differences between its members when secretary general Mini Arkoi overthrew Mohamed Noor from the SLM leadership which resulted in the ever going dispute between them.
