lifted a day after Khartoum was assaulted by rebels.
That's according to state-run radio in Sudan. It also reports
that a curfew remains in effect in the capital's twin city of
Omdurman, where rebels are said to be still on the loose. Extra
checkpoints are still in place throughout Khartoum.
The surprise assault late yesterday is the closest Darfur rebels
have ever come to Sudan's seat of government, which is hundreds of
miles from their bases in the far west of the country.
Sudan's government has issued several statements claiming to
have crushed the rebels.
Sudan has also severed relations with Chad, which it accuses of
supporting the fighters.
