100 killed in Darfur tribal clashes in past week: UN

The UN announced that about 100 people were killed in tribal clashes over the past week in Sudan’s West Darfur province.

The fighting grew out of a land dispute between Arab and African tribes in the town of Kulbus in West Darfur, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said.

It added that local Arab militias attacked multiple villages in the area, forcing thousands to flee, reports Xinhua news agency.

Volker Perthes, head of the UN Integrated Transitional Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS), condemned the recent tribal clashes.

I’m appalled, again, by the violence in Kulbus, West Darfur, with so many deaths, said Perthes on his Twitter account on Monday.
