SMA NEWS – DARFUR
Ethnic clashes in Sudan’s troubled region of Darfur have killed at least 11 people, including an 11-year-old boy, and left nearly two dozen others wounded.
The boy was burnt alive when his family home was torched during the violence, which had started on Wednesday, local officials and state media said on Saturday. Two men aged 72 and 75 were among the other people killed.
The violence began in an area near the South Darfur state capital Nyala.
“A group of herders riding camels and vehicles attacked the village of Amuri on Friday, leaving the locality burnt and four people killed,” the official SUNA news agency said, adding that two more people were killed between Wednesday and Thursday.
Another person was killed when the fighting spread to nearby villages, where homes were “partially burnt” and stores looted, added the news agency, quoting a government statement.
