El-Geneina, March 7(Darfur24) The death toll of tribal clashes in several villages in Jebel Moon locality 75, north of El Geneina, the capital of West Darfur state, since last Saturday, has risen to 18.
The Executive Director of Jebel Moon locality Yahya Ibrahim said in statements to Darfur 24 that the security forces found 14 bodies in areas that witnessed fighting between Arab tribes and the Misseriya Jabal tribe, bringing the death toll to 18.
The villages located on the slopes of Jabal moun have witnessed fierce battles since last Saturday, against the background of the looting of livestock from the Bedouin nomads.
The poor communication networks in the region led to the failure to access information from sources in the area.
Fighting was renewed Monday, in the Seleia area of Jebel Moon Locality headquarters, which led to the death of a man and a woman.
Sources from the area told Darfur 24 that the attack caused terror and panic among the citizens, some of whom took shelter at the army compound.
