Tension has risen between Ma\u2019aliya and Hamar tribes as a result of a murder, an abduction, and looting in the area of Sharif in Adila locality, East Darfur, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

A witness told Radio Dabanga that one of the Ma\u2019aliya was killed in Sharif, 18km east of Adila town, on the border between East Darfur and West Kordofan.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Ma\u2019aliya rescue team tracked down his traces and found out he had entered one of the villages of the Hamar tribe,\u201d the witness explained. They denied knowing of any person entering into their area, and that the murderer of reportedly one of the Ma\u2019alia’s sons resided with them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen the Ma\u2019aliya team seized three men, 80 camels, and 600 sheep, and returned to Sharif area.\u201d<\/p>\n

The witness added that a mediator from the Misseriya tribe intervened to resolve the problem. However, the Ma\u2019aliya insisted to neither release the three kidnapped, nor the camels and sheep, until after the Hamar hand over the offender.<\/p>\n
