At least 17 civilians have been killed in Sudan's Darfur region, officials said Friday, in the latest violence between rival ethnic groups that has left dozens dead this week alone.
Recent fighting has seen heavily armed forces battle in the rugged Jebel Moon mountains in West Darfur state, close to the border with Chad.
