Darfuri tribal elder: Mahadi and Ta’alba to reconcile soon

The Ta’alba and Mahadi tribes are close to reaching a peace agreement in South Darfur. The two Arab tribes had fought each other fiercely in Kass town in mid April. Mansour Kuwir, the omda (tribal leader) of the Ta’alba in Kass Locality, affirmed that the reconciliation between the two tribes in Kass has reached the final stages. He expects that the process will be soon completed and the two tribes will renew the spirit of brotherhood between them as they had before. Speaking in an interview with Radio Dabanga, the omda called on all the people of Darfur to reject discord and avoid violence, relying on the traditions of Darfur as a means of addressing the region’s conflict.
