The deputy head of Sudan's sovereign council led a mission to the city of Nyala in South Darfur on Thursday to assess the security situation following another spate of violence there, the council said.
At least 10 people were killed, 25 injured and several villages burnt in the violence in Beleil, an area outside Nyala, the United Nations said in a statement earlier this week.
Some 16,200 people were displaced by the latest clashes, many of them returnees who had fled war in Darfur in the early 2000s, the U.N. statement said.
