A brutal attack in Krinding Camp, Sudan's West Darfur state, resulted in the deaths of at least 24 people after tensions between Arab and African ethnic groups escalated. Reports indicate that Arab tribesmen raided the camp, engaging in violent acts including shooting and arson. The situation worsened as relatives intimidated medical staff and resulted in additional fatalities when a policeman intervened. This violence jeopardizes ongoing peace negotiations as authorities grapple with stabilizing the region following the ousting of Omar al-Bashir last year. Officials have arrived to assess and address the crisis.
"The Arab tribesmen came to the IDP camp and started shooting and killing and burning... a government of Sudan policeman tried to intervene he was shot and killed."
"Brokering lasting peace in Darfur and other parts of Sudan is one of the main challenges facing military and civilian authorities following a popular uprising that overthrew longtime President Omar al-Bashir."
