notes: On 16 May 2020, armed men (including some wearing military uniforms) attacked the villages of Tirti and Khairwajid in Beida locality (West Darfur state), in what appears to be a reprisal attack following the killing of a local relative of the men. 2 were killed (fatalities split across two events), between 17 and 28 abducted, and both villages were torched. One source indicates that the conflict is organised around ethnic lines, involving Arab and Masalit groups (with the Masalit presumed to be the victims of the attack). 1,401 people were displaced.
