International experts estimate some 200,000 people have been killed and that 2.5 million have been made homeless in Darfur since mostly non-Arab rebels took up arms.

Government officials said the attack on Khartoum ruled JEM out of any peace process.

A curfew remained in force on the outskirts of Omdurman. Military checkpoints were at every major junction.

Heavy tanks lined Omdurman's streets and dozens of vehicles carrying armed men raced along. Security forces were arresting mostly young men who looked to be from Darfur.

But the streets were again full of people.
