Seven killed in Darfur camp clashes, peacekeepers say

Armed men shot dead seven people and injured 20 in clashes at a refugee camp in Sudan's Darfur region on Saturday, peacekeepers said, in a sign of mounting violence in and around the area's displacement centres.

Darfur's joint UN/African Union (UNAMID) peacekeeping force said gunfire broke out at the Hamidiya camp, close to the town of Zalingei in West Darfur state, on Saturday morning. (Reuters)
