UN: Bloody tribal clashes in Darfur killed 250 and displaced over 100,000

CAIRO: Tribal clashes in Sudan’s Darfur region have killed at least 250 people and displaced more than 100,000 people since erupting earlier this month, the UN refugee agency said.
The violence in the provinces of West Darfur and South Darfur has posed a significant challenge to the country’s transitional government.
Among those displaced were some 3,500 people, mostly women and children, who fled into neighboring Chad, according to Boris Cheshirkov, a spokesman for the UNHCR said on Friday.
