The government of South Darfur state has formed an investigatory committee to look into recent clashes between the Fallata and Salamat tribes last week.
Officials say at least 54 people were killed and 29 wounded during fighting between the two groups last week in the Anadif and Asalya areas.
The committee questioned Fallata administration leaders last week, according to officials. The four traditional leaders of the Salamat were also summoned by the committee.
Yusuf Al Sammani, the deputy nazir of the Fallata tribe, said the investigation focused on root causes of the clashes between the two tribes.
Yusuf said the government is responsible for having earlier failed to resolve differences between the two sides. He said they failed to follow up on a peace meeting held in the Wad Aradaib area in December last year.
The current committee is headed by prosecutor Idris Mohamed Ahmed and includes several judges and representatives of law enforcement agencies.
