Eight people have been killed in fighting in Sudan's western Darfur region between groups of Arab Rizeigat and the Fur people, an aid group said Thursday.
Shooting broke out late Wednesday in Zalingei, the state capital of Central Darfur after a Fur member was killed, sparking wider fighting, witnesses said.
