Radio Dabanga report that Darfur witnessed a surge of violence which saw 10 killed and 32 injured during tribal clashes in Saraf Omra, North Darfur, and 11 killed and 26 wounded in tribal clashes in Gireida, South Darfur.

In Saraf Omra, a member of the North Darfur Security Committee, Maj Gen Yahya Mohamed al-Nur said the dispute originated from a dispute between the Fur and Tama tribes. Radio Dabanga sources said clashes erupted following preparations for the reception of Sultan Mohamed al-Tama, with several groups, including a Fur group, denouncing the organisation of an event celebrating his reception.  

In Gireida, South Darfur violence between the Fallata and Masalit tribes stemmed from cows being stolen.
