Darfur Clashes Displace Thousands -- The BBC News

An upsurge in fighting in the Sudanese region of Darfur recently has displaced thousands more civilians, say aid agencies and human rights groups.

Human Rights Watch said that more than 40 civilians had been killed in attacks by pro-government Arab militias on rebel-held villages in South Darfur.
