TIL Desk/World/Cairo/ Sporadic tribal clashes between Arabs and non-Arabs continued in Sudan’s West Darfur province, as the death toll climbed to at least three dozen people, some of them burned to death, according to a senior health official and a spokesman for a local aid group working in the area.
Some of the 36 dead were children and women, said the official who works in the main hospital in the province. He said that around 60 others were wounded, and that 49 of them were taken to the capital, Khartoum for treatment.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media. The clashes, which erupted over the weekend, pose a challenge to efforts by Sudan’s transitional government to end decades-long rebellions in areas like Darfur. Rebel groups from Darfur have now suspended their peace talks with the government in response to the tribal clashes and called for an investigation.
