Press Statement Sean McCormack, Spokesman Washington, DC May 10, 2008
U.S. Condemns Attack on OmdurmanThe United States condemns the recent attack by Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) forces in the area of Omdurman, near Khartoum. We call for an immediate end to fighting. These actions undermine the ongoing efforts of the international community to support resolution of the conflicts in Sudan. The United States implores both JEM and the Government of Sudan to guard against attacks against civilians in Omdurman and Darfur, and warns both sides against taking any retaliatory action based on ethnicity or tribe.
