KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudan has seized back a town from rebels who took it a month ago, the government said on Monday as it continued a push against insurgents it says are backed by South Sudan.

The Sudanese Revolutionary Front (SRF), an umbrella of rebel groups that launched an assault on several towns late in April, confirmed it had withdrawn from the town, Abu Kershola, saying it had done so to allow humanitarian aid to be delivered.
