The Sudanese government (Khartoum) said it is moving forces to the Sudan-Eritrean border. SPLA rebels and allies are reported massing in the area (near Garoura). How large is the mobilization? Thats unclear, but a subsequent report said local militia units were ordered to report for training. The degree of SPLA involvement is also uncertain.

The SPLA did claim that its northern forces had attacked the town of Kassala in November 2000.
