At least 24 people were confirmed killed after a camp for internally displaced people was struck in Sudan’s West Darfur, an international peacekeeping official announced on Wednesday, as top officials came to attempt to pacify the clash.
Krinding Camp, just east of state capital El-Geneina, was assaulted on Dec. 29-30 following a conflict between Arab and African ethnic groups, said Ashraf Eissa, a spokesman for the joint African Union-United Nations peacekeeping mission in Darfur, UNAMID.
Sudan’s authorities said on Monday they would deploy military forces to West Darfur and suspend peace talks with rebel groups for 24 hours after an outbreak of deadly violence around the regional capital.
