Fresh fighting broke out on Tuesday between the Fallata people and an Arab tribe in villages outside Nyala, the capital of South Darfur state, witnesses said.
"The fighting has continued until Thursday, and has so far killed some 30 people and maimed dozens," a leader from the Fallata said, requesting anonymity.
One resident of South Darfur, Mohammed al-Fatteh, said fighting erupted after an Arab leader was killed.
A leader from an Arab group also said that the fighting continued on Thursday, reporting that there were "multiple killings and maimed."
Sudan's western restive Darfur region was ravaged by a bitter a civil war that erupted in 2003. The conflict pitted ethnic minority rebels who complained of discrimination against the Arab-dominated government of then-president Omar al-Bashir
...Former President-for-Life of Sudan He came to power in 1989 when he, as a brigadier in the Sudanese army, led a group of officers in a bloodless military coup that ousted the government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and eventually appointed himself head cheese. He fell out with his Islamic mentor, Hasan al-Turabi, tried to impose shariah on the Christian and animist south, resulting in its secessesion, and attempted to ArabizeDarfur by unleashing the barbaric Janjaweed on it. Sudan's potential prosperity has been pissed away in warfare that has left as many as 400,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced. Hee was overthrown by popular consent in 2019. Omar has been indicted for genocide by the International Criminal Court but nothing is expected to come of it...
Khartoum responded by unleashing the Janjaweed, mainly recruited from Arab pastoralist tribes, who were blamed for atrocities including murder, rape, looting and burning villages.
The scorched-earth campaign left 300,000 people dead and displaced 2.5 million, according to the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
The main conflict has subsided over the years, but the region remains awash with weapons and deadly festivities often erupt over access to pasture or water.
Or someone stepped on someone else’s cousin’s shadow. Really, it’s what they do in that part of the world when they are not otherwise occupied.
Earlier this month, separate festivities broke out among herders and farmers in the rugged mountainous region of Jebel Moon in West Darfur, leaving at least 35 people killed. Scores of people have been killed and hundreds of houses torched in several bouts of violence in Jebel Moon, as well as elsewhere in Darfur in recent months, the United Nations and medics say.The violence has reflected a broader security breakdown in Darfur following last year's military takeover led by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, that derailed a transition to full civilian rule.
