The Darfur rebels are now calling themselves the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A). They will no longer go by the Darfur Liberation Front (DLF). A SLM/A spokesman also claimed that the groups forces had retaken the town of Gulu in Jebel Marrah province (part of Darfur). Based on the claim the fight was a big battle. The SLM/A claims to have killed 195 government troops (out of a force of approximately 450 in Gulu). The rest of the Sudanese government garrison ran away.
