Khartoum: Darfur rebels accused Sudan's government of more attacks on Saturday, saying Khartoum was not serious about peace.
Sudan's army denied the allegation and said its troops had fought off an ambush in an isolated incident.
Nimr Mohamad, spokesman for the Sudan Liberation Army, said the army attacked them on Friday in Abu Hamra and Kofod east of Kutum in North Darfur.
"The National Congress Party talks peace but in reality on the ground they are pursuing a military solution," he said.
He added that rebel and army forces were still in the area and he expected further clashes.
