Curfew in Sudan’s Blue Nile state after clashes kill 31

An overnight curfew was in two towns in Sudan, following several days of ethnic clashes which have killed at least 31 people and injured dozens of others.

Soldiers have been deployed to control the violence, which was sparked by a land dispute between the Berti and Hawsa in the south-eastern Blue Nile state.

Dozens of people have been displaced and several shops have been set on fire during the unrest, which began on Monday.

Despite the curfews, witness reports suggest that fighting continued in one of the towns – Roseires.

The UN Special representative for Sudan has called on local communities to exercise restraint.
