On Thursday, hundreds of Ma’aliya tribesmen took to the streets to demonstrate against the arrival of the new state appointees, who were sworn-in in East Darfur capital Ed Daein earlier that day.
They blocked state government institutions, rejecting the federal government’s decision to appoint the officials, before the violent conflicts between the Ma'aliya and Rizeigat in the state are addressed.
