{{Clashes in Sudan’s Darfur region have resumed with at least 21 people reported dead just one month after intense inter-tribal fighting left hundreds dead and forced the biggest displacement of people in the area in recent years.}}<\/p>\n
In January, fighting between two Arab tribes, the Beni Hussein and the Rizeigat, over the control of a gold mine left more than 100 people dead and displaced around 130,000 people.<\/p>\n
The latest clashes on Thursday in El Sireaf, an area in the north, “lasted for eight hours after some Rizeigat troops attacked the area,” according to a Bani Hussein leader who asked not to be identified.<\/p>\n
At least 21 people were killed and 33 wounded in the fighting, accroding to the leader, who described the situation as “very bad”.<\/p>\n
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) supplied emergency food to El Sireaf and most other affected areas, but in a report said that security remains a “major concern”. <\/p>\n
“The number of displaced people in different locations is constantly changing as people continue moving around,” the OCHA said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
