Gunmen killed a Rizeigat cattle owner in Abu Jabra, East Darfur and stole 70 cows on Monday. As a result, the situation between the Rizeigat and the Ma’alia tribes in the area has become very tense.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Radio Dabanga, a resident of Adila reported that later on Monday a Rizeigat \u201crescue team\u201d tracked the thieves until they arrived at the area of the Ma\u2019alia tribe.<\/p>\n

The Rizeigat in the area thereupon accused the Ma\u2019alia of the murder. The incident led to the gathering of large groups of Rizeigat and Ma\u2018alia fighters in the areas of Abu Jabra town, Abu Karinka, Bakhit, and Adila town.<\/p>\n

The source predicted that the ensuing tense situation may explode \u201cat any time\u201d, and called on the East Darfur state authorities to intervene \u201cas soon as possible\u201d to contain the situation.<\/p>\n
