Sudan's West Darfur Conflict Leaves Scores Dead, Injured
At least 213 people have been killed and 110 reportedly injured in conflict tribes in the Kereinik area of West Darfur, Deutsche Welle reports
An attack which lasted six hours claimed the lives of 17 children, teachers, police officers, and worshippers leaving a mosque, according to Radio Dabanga.

The UN's Volker Perthes said in a statement that he wanted "an in-depth and transparent investigation, the results of which should be made public and help to identify the perpetrators of violence and bring them to justice."
