At least 150 people including children have been killed in two days of fighting in the latest ethnic clashes over land disputes in Sudan’s southern Blue Nile state, a medic said Thursday.
The fighting has centred around the Wad al-Mahi area near Roseires, some 500 kilometres south of the capital Khartoum. Last week, clashes in the same area of Blue Nile sparked by “a dispute over land issues” left at least 13 people dead and 24 injured, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.Sudan is grappling with deepening political unrest and a spiralling economic crisis since last year’s military coup, led by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
A surge in ethnic violence in recent months has highlighted the security breakdown in Sudan since the coup.
