Sudan, an ethnically diverse country, has been rocked by nationwide protests since December that led to the ouster of longtime leader Omar al-Bashir on 11 April.
KHARTOUM - Clashes between members of two Sudanese tribes in an eastern town have left seven people dead and 22 wounded over the past two days, a local official told AFP on Sunday.
“It all started when a woman from the Nuba tribe and a water vendor from the Bani Amer tribe quarrelled over the price of water” on Saturday, Ahmed said. Members of the two groups then set fire to homes and shops belonging to each other’s kin, Ahmed added.
