Darfur militants occupy town

Nearly 1,000 armed men, thought to be from Sudan's troubled Darfur region, have occupied a town in the Central African Republic, the main rebel leader in the region said today.

The men are believed to have crossed into the country from the northern outpost of Am-Dafock, about 620 miles from Bangui, which sits at the border with Sudan. They are now in Sam-Ouandjia, a town in the centre of the country, roughly 400 miles from the capital.
