Many reported killed in ethnic clashes

    ABIDJAN

    At least 30 people were killed and 10 others seriously injured in communal clashes in northern Mali on Sunday, AFP reported.

    AFP said the fighting, between rival Arab communities, occurred in the desert between Gao and Kidal, lasted six hours and had to do with a conflict over territory and leadership in the area.

    A unit of the Malian army was sent to the area to restore order and address grievances on both sides, according to AFP, which reported that fighting between the two groups in July left at least 27 dead.
