CAIRO, 24 April 2022, (TON): An aid worker and activists said “Tribal violence between Arabs and non-Arabs in Sudan’s war-ravaged Darfur region killed at least 8 people including a woman and a child.”
Adam Regal said “the clashes erupted Thursday with the killing of two people by an unknown assailant around the Kreinik area of West Darfur province, the spokesman for the General Coordination for Refugees and Displaced in Darfur charity.”
The following day, militias known as janjaweed attacked a camp for displaced people just to the south of Kreinik, burning down dozens of houses and forcing large numbers of people to flee.
He said “the violence, which lasted till late Friday, also wounded 16 others, including three in critical condition.”
Sudan’s Darfur region has seen bouts of deadly clashes between rival tribes in recent months as the country remains mired in a wider crisis following last year’s coup, when top generals overthrew a civilian-led government.
