Clashes in Sudan's Darfur region spreads claiming four more lives, an aid group says, taking the death toll since Friday to 180
Renewed violence in Darfur comes as Sudan grapples with fallout from a coup in October last year led by army chief Abdel Fattah al Burhan.
West Darfur has been gripped by days of deadly fighting between Arab and non-Arab groups, largely centred in the Krink area. "Since sundown, we've been hearing gunshots. I can hear them right now," a resident of El Geneina said. Many Janjaweed members have been integrated into the feared paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, commanded by General Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, de facto deputy leader of Sudan, according to rights groups.In 2003, a bitter civil war rocked Darfur pitting ethnic minority rebels complaining of discrimination against the Arab-dominated government under then-president Omar al Bashir.
