On 25 and 26 July 2020, another massacre occurred in West Darfur involving around 500 gunmen who attacked Masteri near Beida, a Masalit community, killing more than 60 people.[1] Masteri is a border village with Chad.[9] The United Nations (UN) said that another 60 people were injured in the attack, and that the attackers also looted and burned down villages.[10] A UN statement said it was "one of the latest of a series of security incidents reported over the last week", saying other communities in the region had been destroyed[2] and reporting at least seven deadly attacks in West Darfur since 19 July.[9] The UN have suggested the conflict relates to disputes over land ownership: after displacement in Darfur in the early 2000s, groups took over abandoned land. In recent years, persecuted groups have attempted to return to their land.
