5 killed in tribal fighting in Sudan
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AA) – Five people were killed and nine others injured in tribal fighting in Sudan, according to the military on Sunday.
A military statement said clashes erupted between the Arab Misseriya tribe and the ethnic Nuba tribe in the town of Lagawa in West Kordofan state.
Several homes were set ablaze in the violence, the statement said.
Sudanese authorities have dispatched additional forces to quell the violence.
The clashes are the latest in a wave of tribal violence that has swept across the country, despite the signing of a nationwide peace deal two years ago.
Sudan has been without a functioning government since October 2021 when the military dismissed Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok’s transitional government and declared a state of emergency, a move decried by political forces as a “military coup.”
