Clashes pitting Arabs against ethnic Africans in Sudan’s turbulent Darfur region have resulted in the deaths of about 100 people in the past week, a reminder of the challenges facing the country as it faces growing economic and political woes.

Violence has surged in Darfur since the military seized power last October, derailing the country’s democratic transition and creating a climate conducive to lawlessness.

There has been no official word from the capital, Khartoum, about the latest violence.

The response by the military and security forces has been slow or inadequate, allowing the fighting in Darfur to continue.

Thousands of villagers have reportedly fled their villages since April 11 after fighting between government forces and the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA). Khartoum has refused to acknowledge any political motivation for unrest in the Darfur states, blaming it instead on "armed criminal gangs and outlaws," who it says are aided by tribes from neighboring Chad.

Members of the southern-based rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) sit in the forest in Sudan's western region of Darfur in April 2004. Fighting in the area that has erupted in February 2003 between the Sudanese government and Darfur rebels has claimed at least 10,000 lives and raised the spectre of a devastating humanitarian crisis that could see up to one million die, the UN and international officials have said. The pro-Sudanese government "Janjaweed" militia have been accused of ethnic cleansing against the black population of the Darfur region. AFP

The latest violence was the result of a land dispute between Arab and African tribes in the town of Kulbus in West Darfur province, according to Toby Harward of the UN refugee agency in Sudan.

In a series of tweets, Mr Harward said Arab militiamen attacked villages in the area, forcing thousands of people to flee.

Residents said that at least 62 of the victims were burnt after the militiamen torched more than 20 villages in reprisal.

Local official Abbas Mustafa said authorities sent more troops to the area, where violence is believed to have displaced about 5,000 families.

Mr Harward called in his tweets for neutral joint forces to provide protection for civilians in the area. “If there is no intervention or mediation, & violence is allowed to continue, farmers will not be able to cultivate & the agricultural season will fail,” he wrote.

In April, clashes caused the deaths of more than 200 people. The Sudanese military said at the time it sent a brigade to the province.

However, the violence has raised questions over whether the military is capable of restoring law and order in Darfur, where the UN Security Council ended its peacekeeping mission in 2020.

In recent months, aid workers have called on the UN to send peacekeepers back.

The Darfur conflict began in 2003, when ethnic Africans rebelled, accusing the Arab-dominated government in the capital Khartoum of discrimination.

The government of ousted dictator Omar Al Bashir was accused of retaliating by arming nomadic Arab tribes and unleashing militias known as the Janjaweed on civilians there.

Al Bashir, who has been in prison in Khartoum since he was removed from office in 2019, was charged more than a decade ago by the International Criminal Court with genocide and crimes against humanity in Darfur.

Why are asylum seekers being housed in hotels?

The number of asylum applications in the UK has reached a new record high, driven by those illegally entering the country in small boats crossing the English Channel.

A total of 111,084 people applied for asylum in the UK in the year to June 2025, the highest number for any 12-month period since current records began in 2001.

Asylum seekers and their families can be housed in temporary accommodation while their claim is assessed.

The Home Office provides the accommodation, meaning asylum seekers cannot choose where they live.

When there is not enough housing, the Home Office can move people to hotels or large sites like former military bases.

Three tips from La Perle's performers

1 The kind of water athletes drink is important. Gwilym Hooson, a 28-year-old British performer who is currently recovering from knee surgery, found that out when the company was still in Studio City, training for 12 hours a day. “The physio team was like: ‘Why is everyone getting cramps?’ And then they realised we had to add salt and sugar to the water,” he says.

2 A little chocolate is a good thing. “It’s emergency energy,” says Craig Paul Smith, La Perle’s head coach and former Cirque du Soleil performer, gesturing to an almost-empty open box of mini chocolate bars on his desk backstage.

3 Take chances, says Young, who has worked all over the world, including most recently at Dragone’s show in China. “Every time we go out of our comfort zone, we learn a lot about ourselves,” she says.

Expert input

If you had all the money in the world, what’s the one sneaker you would buy or create?

“There are a few shoes that have ‘grail’ status for me. But the one I have always wanted is the Nike x Patta x Parra Air Max 1 - Cherrywood. To get a pair in my size brand new is would cost me between Dh8,000 and Dh 10,000.” Jack Brett

“If I had all the money, I would approach Nike and ask them to do my own Air Force 1, that’s one of my dreams.” Yaseen Benchouche

“There’s nothing out there yet that I’d pay an insane amount for, but I’d love to create my own shoe with Tinker Hatfield and Jordan.” Joshua Cox

“I think I’d buy a defunct footwear brand; I’d like the challenge of reinterpreting a brand’s history and changing options.” Kris Balerite

 “I’d stir up a creative collaboration with designers Martin Margiela of the mixed patchwork sneakers, and Yohji Yamamoto.” Hussain Moloobhoy

“If I had all the money in the world, I’d live somewhere where I’d never have to wear shoes again.” Raj Malhotra

What the law says

Micro-retirement is not a recognised concept or employment status under Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Regulation of Labour Relations (as amended) (UAE Labour Law). As such, it reflects a voluntary work-life balance practice, rather than a recognised legal employment category, according to Dilini Loku, senior associate for law firm Gateley Middle East.

“Some companies may offer formal sabbatical policies or career break programmes; however, beyond such arrangements, there is no automatic right or statutory entitlement to extended breaks,” she explains.

“Any leave taken beyond statutory entitlements, such as annual leave, is typically regarded as unpaid leave in accordance with Article 33 of the UAE Labour Law. While employees may legally take unpaid leave, such requests are subject to the employer’s discretion and require approval.”

If an employee resigns to pursue micro-retirement, the employment contract is terminated, and the employer is under no legal obligation to rehire the employee in the future unless specific contractual agreements are in place (such as return-to-work arrangements), which are generally uncommon, Ms Loku adds.
