Seven fighters from former rebel groups that signed a peace deal with the Sudanese government last year have died in clashes in Darfur, state media reported Saturday.
The violence, which lasted until early Friday, broke out in the Kugli and Galab districts of North Darfur state, the official SUNA news agency reported. It was not immediately clear what triggered the fighting. “Seven people belonging to forces party to the peace deal were killed in clashes against an unidentified group,” SUNA reported.On Saturday, a group of Arab tribes said the clashes pitted Arab farmers against fighters of two former rebel groups in Darfur — the Sudan Liberation Forces Alliance and the Sudan Liberation Movement.
Both groups signed a peace deal last October with the transitional government installed after the overthrow of longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir in 2019. The SLFA is led by Altaher Hagar, who was appointed to Sudan’s ruling council in February along with two other former rebel leaders party to the deal.
