CAIRO (AP) — The United Nations says tribal clashes in two provinces in Sudan have killed at least 145 people this month. The most recent bout of violence erupted following a land dispute between Arab and African tribes in the town of Kulbus in West Darfur province. Local Arab militias then attacked multiple villages in the area. At least 126 people were killed there. In South Kordofan, at least 19 people were reportedly killed, and 54 others injured in separate tribal clashes earlier this month. The violence in the town of Abu Jubayhah, which lasted for three days, grew out of a robbery of a tuk tuk, a three-wheeled vehicle, on June 5.
