location: Abu Rumayl
notes: On 23 June 2020, gunmen from Chad clashed with Sudanese pastoralists in the Wassata area (described as being in the 'far north' of West Darfur state, around 50km east of the Chadian border, and presumed to be in eastern Kulbus locality), with 16 killed in the clash (7 from Chad, 9 from Darfur, at least one of whom died later of their wounds), and 10 wounded. The source indicates fighting was sparked by an effort by the Chadian gunmen to retrieve stolen cattle and/or to avenge the death of a leader of the Chadian group killed in April.
