Sudanese media: At least 30 killed in tribal clashes in Darfur
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Sudanese news agency says clashes between herdsmen from two Arab tribes in the western Darfur region have left at least 30 people dead.
The semi-official Sudan Media Center said Tuesday that the fighting took place last week in Abu Dukhin, a locality in Central Darfur State. It said security has been restored, and officials have visited the area to defuse the tension.
Tribal clashes in these areas usually stem from disputes over grazing and farming rights.
