Clashes in Sudan leave at least 160 dead

The clashes in Krink, about 80 kilometers from Geneina, the capital of West Darfur, began on Friday, when eight people died, said the spokesman for that Coordination, Adam Regal.

The leader said that at least 46 people were also injured and warned that the number of victims could be much higher.

A tribal leader from the non-Muslim Massalit minority said he saw multiple bodies in villages in the Krink region, according to the AFP news agency.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) today called on the authorities to ensure that the wounded can reach hospitals safely.

In recent months, dozens of people have been killed and hundreds of buildings burned in Darfur, according to the UN and other sources.

In 2003, Darfur was the scene of a conflict between rebels from an ethnic minority and the majority Arab government, which killed 300,000 people and forced 2.5 million people to flee their homes, according to UN data. .
