High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 2008 attack on Omdurman and Khartoum was a May 2008 raid by the Justice and Equality Movement, a Darfuri ethnic minority rebel group, against the Sudanese government in the cities of Omdurman and Khartoum. From the government's viewpoint, the attack took place on a single day, May 10, 2008, while JEM has countered the government's account with reports of heavy fighting in parts of the Khartoum metropolitan area into May 11. More than 220 people were reported to be killed in the raid, including one Russian officer, while scores were later sentenced to death. It was the first time that the War in Darfur, previously confined to western Sudan, reached the country's capital. The incident marked a dramatic widening of the conflict in which up to 300,000 people have died and 2.5 million been made homeless since 2003. Despite decades of warfare in Southern Sudan, Khartoum has not experienced any street fighting since 1976.
