The list of casualties in ongoing clashes stemming from the Beni Halba and Gimr tribes\u2019 dispute has reached 112, a source says. Clashes are ongoing for one week in different parts of South Darfur\u2019s Katayla locality.<\/p>\n

Ibrahim Al Rahed, a member of the committee of reconciliation, said on Wednesday that 32 Beni Halba had died and 50 were wounded.<\/p>\n

Abdul Rahman Hamad Nahla, Member of Parliament from Katayla, said the death toll in the Gimr tribe has reached 30 while assessment of the wounded is still ongoing.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Gimr leaders said the villages of Jugma, Batikha, Haraza, Eidera, Juekhena, and Umm Dorota had been burned, and that hundreds of families have been displaced to Katayla city.<\/p>\n

They called upon the government of South Darfur to enforce security to prevent \u201cviolence from escalating\u201d.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, dispute over land ownership between the Beni Halba and Gimr tribes left eight killed (four from each side) and four wounded in South Darfur.<\/p>\n

Six villages were also were burned as a result of the battles in the area of Edd Al Fursan, that displaced some 750 families.<\/p>\n

Clashes between both tribes resumed after a relatively stable period since February as both sides accuse of each other of breaching a previously signed peace treaty.<\/p>\n
