Khartoum, (Sudanow) – The Sudanese Army on Thursday said it has cleared a strategic road in south Darfur's Eastern Jabal Mara area.
A statement issued on Thursday said the Sudanese regular army has reopened the road linking Kator - Durban - Jawa - Sony areas after forcefully taking over the areas of Sony in eastern Jaba Mara, South Darfur State

The rebels used these areas to blackmail private citizens in the region.
Civilians driven away by rebel elements have now returned to their home areas and started their normal life anew, the statement said.
