Overview
On 18 November, inter-communal clashes escalated between nomads and farmers from the Misseriya Jebel tribe in Khazan-kujuk village – 20km east of the main town of Sileia – in West Darfur's Jebel Moon locality. According to the data collected during the inter-agency assessment that took place between 29 November and 2 December, 9,970 people (1,994 households) were displaced to Hijeilija and Selea villages in Jebel Moon locality, as well as Werywery village in Kulbus locality, Jeruf village in Sirba locality and Saraf Omra in North Darfur, while 2,261 crossed the border into Chad (UNHCR). Overall, 33 villages and damras (pastoralist villages) were assessed. These numbers may change as there were reports of fighting on 6 and 7 December. Initial assistance was provided when the mission took place. Follow up support and service delivery is pending security assurances.
