Thousands protest tribal clashes in Sudan's south

Thousands of protesters gathered on Sunday in front of army headquarters in the Sudanese city of Damazin, eyewitnesses said, protesting recent ethnic clashes in the country's south that have killed 200. Protesters "tried to enter the army headquarters" before "setting fire to the state government building," resident Abdel Qader Ibrahim said by phone from Damazin, the capital of Sudan's southern Blue Nile state, which borders Ethiopia and South Sudan. At least two hundred people were killed in two days last week, official media said on Saturday, after clashes broke out over reported land disputes between members of the Hausa people and rival groups. -- AFP
