Clashes in Sudan's Darfur region killed at least 100 people, according to doctors in the country

Fighting in the Darfur region of Sudan has killed at least 100 people according to doctors in the country. Hospitals in the region are still out of service.

The fighting in Genena, which broke out a few days after Sudan’s two rival generals took up arms against each other in the capital of Khartoum, pointed to the possibility that the conflict could engulf other parts of the East African country.

The doctors' union did not specify the two parties to the clashes in Genena, a city of around half a million people located near the border with Chad that has been a flashpoint since the early days of the fighting.
