'94 Dead' in Tribal Fight in Sudan's Darfur

Fighting in the past two days between rival tribes in Sudan's Darfur region has killed 94 people, despite a peace deal between them, a tribal leader said on Saturday.

"Since yesterday there has been a clash between us and the Salamat after they tried to attack us," Ahmed Khiri, who described himself as a leader of fighters from the Misseriya tribe, told Agence France Presse.

"We lost eight of our men and killed 86 from the other side."
