(SomaliNet) Fights between Arabs and non-Arabs in southeast Chad last week left more than 100 people dead, being the latest bloodshed in a multi-ethnic region torn by violence, officials said on Tuesday, Reuters reported. According to reports, the blood shed took place in Chad's Salamat prefecture which borders Central African Republic near Sudan's west Darfur region, where three years of political and ethnic conflict have killed tens of thousands. Chadian officials said disagreements in the Salamat prefecture between members of the non-Arab Kibede community and the Darsalim, an Arab group, escalated into a deadly conflict which destroyed homes and granaries last week. "The conflict between the Kibede and Darsalim communities a few days ago has caused 139 deaths between one side and the other and several injured have been admitted to hospital," a hospital official at the regional capital Am Timan said.
