Ongoing conflict in northern Omdurman, Sudan has killed and injured civilians. Ceasefire talks resumed but past truces failed.

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.

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.
