| As foretold at Saddleback, more "evil" Tribal clashes in Darfur. |

| Khartoum - More than 50 Arab tribesmen were killed on Wednesday in armed clashes about water and grazing land in South Darfur, a senior member of one of the groups said on Thursday. The fierce fighting between the nomadic Rizeigat and Misseriya tribes was also fuelled by bad blood about past killings and the ready supply of small arms in the region, said Sadig Babo Nimir, brother of the leader of the Misseriya. Nimir said the fighting broke out on Wednesday morning in the remote Abu Jabra area, close to the region's border with southern Kordofan. "Everyone has Kalashnikovs there, because of the impact of the fighting in Darfur and the south," said Nimir, referring to Sudan's north-south civil war that ended in 2005. |

| #1 and the ready supply of small arms in the region lol! Because we all know that 50 Arab tribesmen could not kill each other over water and grazing land without that. You have to wonder if there is some editor somewhere that adds these preachy little lines after the reporter submits his article. |
