Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces has denied responsibility for the killing of the West Darfur regional governor. The army earlier said the paramilitary group had killed Khamis Abbabakr in el Geneina. No details of his death have been reported. Earlier Abbabakr had described the situation in the city as a ‘genocide’. The latest conflict has reignited long-running ethnic tensions in the Darfur region.

Refugees and aid groups say the fighting in Darfur is less about the battle between the Sudanese armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces than it is an existential war between communities in the region. Masalit leaders report that militias are targeting their tribe, in particular, and some refugees are describing the persecution in el-Geneina, the capital of West Darfur, as a genocide. Aid groups worry that the violence could spread across the region and the Masalit warn that other tribes could be targeted next. Al Jazeera’s Zein Basravi reports from Adre, eastern Chad.
