Up to now, the Sudanese army spokesperson has made no comments on the clashes.
The tribal clashes in Darfur added another dimension to the armed conflict in the region which has been suffering from a civil war since 2003.
Two days ago, the UN warned against outbreak of tribal clashes between Messiria and Salamat in central Darfur state, disclosing that it had received field reports showing that the two tribes were mobilising their groups in areas of Um Dokhon, Bendasi and Mukjar in the state.
Clashes between the two tribes last year led to the death of at least 136 people. The UN said around 4,000 people have fled their homes due to the tension in central Darfur state.
