KHARTOUM, AT LEAST 65 people have been killed and more than 50 injured during communal in the West Darfur state of Sudan.<\/P>
<\/P>
Thousands of civilians have been displaced after shelters were destroyed and villages burnt in the clashes that erupted on Sunday last week.<\/P>
<\/P>
The United Nations Hybrid Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) said it was disturbed by the violence between the rival communities in El Geneina and the surrounding areas.<\/P>
<\/P>
UNAMID is deeply concerned about the loss of life and injuries among civilians, widespread displacement and deterioration of the security and humanitarian situation, the mission stated.<\/P>
<\/P>
It called for the resolution of all disputes in a peaceful and amicable manner and thus called on all parties to restrain from the use of force, especially against civilian population, including women and children.<\/P>
<\/P>
The UN mission nonetheless acknowledged efforts by the government to contain the situation but called upon relevant government authorities to maximize efforts to establish a protective environment and restore peace and order in and around the greater El Geneina community.<\/P>
<\/P>
UNAMID has relocated of 32 UN and nongovernmental organisation personnel to Zalingei, Central Darfur as part of measures to ensure their safety and security.<\/P>
<\/P>
The peacekeeping mission meanwhile expressed condolences to Sudan after a military plane crash claimed a staff member of the World Food Programme, who perished along with his wife and two children in the El Geneina Airport recently.<\/P>
<\/P>
UNAMID was deployed in 2007 four years after a civil war in Darfur left thousands of people dead.<\/P>
