CAIRO (AP) — A Sudanese medical group says that at least 19 people have been killed in renewed violence in the past 24 hours in West Darfur. Tribal clashes between Arabs and non-Arabs in the area of Jebel Moon also killed at least 16 people earlier this week. Clashes first erupted there in mid-November over a land dispute between Arab and non-Arab tribes. Dozens have been killed since in Sudan’s volatile Darfur even as unrest is roiling the entire country following an October military coup. The takeover upended an already fragile democratic transition. A doctors’ group said on Thursday that two teenagers had been killed in the latest anti-military demonstrations in the capital.
