At least 133 people have been killed and more than 100 wounded in clashes between two groups belonging to an Arab tribe in West Kordofan State, a tribal leader said Thursday. The clashes between the Awlad Omran and Al-Ziyoud groups of the Arab Mesiria tribe began with a dispute over land, said Mukhtar Babo Nimr, the leader of the tribe. West Kordofan is the main oil-producing state in Sudan, and it borders the turbulent Darfur region and the nation of South Sudan. Arab tribes, many of which were armed by the Sudanese government to help end an insurgency by mainly non-Arab rebels in Darfur, have turned their guns against one another in a surge of conflict over resources.
