Displacement in Saraf Omra
18 March 2014. Saraf Omra: Displaced children stand at the gate of the UNAMID's base in Saraf Omra, North Darfur.
In the aftermath of a conflict that erupted on 7 March between the Gimir and Abbala tribes, an estimated 55,000 people from Saraf Omra and neighbouring villages were displaced. Many sought refuge in the vicinity of the UNAMID base in the town, while others moved to villages in Central and West Darfur.
The feuding communities signed a cessation-of-hostilities agreement on 12 March. Post this development, the situation has stabilized and the majority have returned to their homes. However, a few thousand are still displaced.
