Four people killed in tribal clashes in Sudan’s capital
July 28, 2015 (KHARTOUM) – At least four people were killed following clashes between al-Hawaweer and al-Gamo’iya at an area that lies west of Sudan’s twin capital city of Omdurman in a dispute over land.
This follows similar clashes which took place last week which lead to the death of one person and injury of several others. Houses were also burned in the battle which saw the use of knives and guns.
The state decided to establish three committees that would undertake strict security and legal procedures against outlaws, seek to reconcile the two tribes and resolve the issue of land disputes in the area once and for all.
The governor pledged to enforce all the decisions and recommendations that committees present.
