West Darfur calm but still volatile

    NAIROBI

    The situation in west Darfur was reported to be calm but still volatile following recent large-scale fighting between nomadic pastoralists and local farming communities, humanitarian sources told IRIN. Medical supplies have been sent to the area to help care for the war wounded, they said. A recent UN/NGO/government mission to the area found that the conflict over scarce land and water resources had displaced thousands of families, destroyed more than 60 villages and killed scores if not hundreds of people.
