Tribal clashes in Sudan claimed 94 lives

Clashes between two rival tribes in Sudan’s Darfur region have renewed, resulting in mass murder, as tribal leaders reported of 94 victims on Saturday. Arab tribesmen of Misseriya attacked members of the rival Salamat tribe, killing 86 people, while Misseriya tribe lost eight fighters. The assailants arrived in 30 Land Cruiser off-roaders. Salamat leaders accuse central Arab government in Khartoum of negligence over the situation that worsened since January. Clashes between Sudanese tribes have raged for the last 10 years, since in 2003 local African tribes took up arms against the Arab government in Khartoum for patronizing Arab tribes in disputes over lands and water resources. According to some estimates, up to 300,000 people have been displaced as a result. Media agencies
