A community leader in the Um Dafuq area of South Darfur State revealed Sunday that four Sudanese nationals were killed and a fifth injured due to violence between members of Sudan’s Ta’isha tribe and the Central African Republic’s Kara tribe.
Speaking to Darfur24, the leader said that armed individuals from the Central African Republic attacked Ta’isha herders as they made their way to the weekly market on Friday in the town of Um Sissiya, located in the Birao Prefecture adjacent to South Darfur.
Since last week, repeated killings in the border towns between Sudan and the Central African Republic have escalated into a tribal conflict between the Ta’isha and Kara tribes, leading to rising tensions and displacement in the border regions of both countries.
