Peacekeepers stop tribal fighting in North Darfur
October 22, 2009 (KHARTOUM) — Troops from the hybrid peacekeeping mission deployed in western Sudan have successfully stopped a bloody clash in North Darfur between two ethnic groups in North Darfur.
UNAMID peacekeepers have intervened on Tuesday October 20 in a deadly ethnic clash, in an area between Jabel Moskul and Jabelti area, about 20 kilometers southeast of Shangil Tobaya in North Darfur, between members of the Zaghawa and Birgid tribes.
Two people died and six people from both sides sustained injuries during the fighting, four of them critically. UNAMID evacuated the critically injured by helicopter to El-Fasher for further treatment at a government hospital, and the others have been admitted into a nearby UNAMID medica.l
The immediate cause of the clash is believed to be access to water sources and as a temporary solution, UNAMID has made arrangements to supply water to the communities.
