Bloody tribal clashes leave ?hundreds dead, many wounded? in East Darfur
ED DAEIN (11 Aug.)
Violent clashes that have erupted between the Riezegat and Ma?alia tribes in East Darfur on Saturday and Sunday have reportedly left ?hundreds dead and many wounded? on both sides.
Tensions between the tribes began to rise when Ma'alia members allegedly stole several cattle belonging to the Riezegat, and when a Ma'alia merchant, Hashin Houmeida, nicknamed Al Libi, was allegedly killed by Riezegat tribesmen.
These events prompted a high-level security delegation, as well as Sudanese army troops, to be despatched to state capital Ed Daein on Thursday. The combat zones included Kilikil Abu Salam on Saturday, spreading to Al Muhalgarat, Dar Es Salam, Al Sahab, Mijelid and Angabo on Sunday.
