Fires in Sudan camp for displaced amid violence

death toll from tribal violence in Sudan's Darfur region climbed to at least 50 as sporadic clashes continued on Tuesday, a local medical group and aid worker said.

violence poses a challenge to efforts by Sudan's transitional government to end decades-long rebellions in areas like Darfur, where conflict often falls along ethnic lines.

On Tuesday, video obtained by Associated Press showed burnt bedframes and huts inside Abu Zar camp for displaced.

It was unclear how fighting started but it is typical of scorched-earth tactics in Darfur.

latest clashes grew out of a shooting on Saturday that killed two people from Masalit tribe in a camp for displaced people in Genena, capital of West Darfur province, according to UN  humanitarian affairs ncy.

Two ors from Masalit tribe were wounded in that shooting, it said.

Fighting ensued between Rizeigat and Masalit tribes, with both mobilizing armed men.

Gunfire could still be heard in Genena late on Monday, UN said.

Authorities have declared a state of emergency in West Darfur.

Sudanese doctors' committee in West Darfur, said that at least 132 people were wounded in clashes, with some of m needing to be evacuated to capital, Khartoum, for more advanced medical care.

UN said Monday that all humanitarian activities were suspended as roads around sourn part of Genena were blocked.

It said more than 700,000 people have been affected by clashes, since Genena serves as a hub for aid delivery to conflict-wrecked region.
