Chad: dozens of deaths in a few days in intercommunal violence. Around forty people have been killed and dozens of others injured since Saturday.
Clashes between antagonistic sedentary communities in the province of Ouaddaï, in the east of the country. It all started two years ago, when a member of the Mouro community wanted to build a Koranic school in the village of a Birgit community, which the latter had refused. The minority Birgit hold the chiefdom of this canton populated mainly by Mouro, who feel marginalized.
