N\u2019DJAMENA, Chad (AP) \u2014 Clashes between two families over access to water have killed at least 42 people in eastern Chad<\/a>, the government says, as resources are stretched in a region where hundreds of thousands of refugees from neighboring Sudan<\/a> have poured in.<\/p>\n

Chad\u2019s deputy prime minister, Limane Mahamat, said another 10 people were wounded in Saturday\u2019s clashes in Igote village in Wadi Fira province near the border.<\/p>\n

The situation is under control after the army intervened, Mahamat said Sunday, adding that a mediation process in the village had begun, as well as judicial proceedings to determine criminal responsibility.<\/p>\n

Such clashes over resources are common in the Central African country. Last year, clashes between farmers and herders in southwestern Chad left 42 people dead and homes burned<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mahamat said the government will take \u201call necessary measures\u201d to prevent a destabilization of the border area.<\/p>\n

In February, Chad closed the border<\/a> with Sudan until further notice, calling it an attempt to limit the spread of that country\u2019s war into its territory after multiple crossings by fighters with warring Sudanese factions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"N\u2019DJAMENA, Chad (AP) \u2014 Clashes between two families over access to water have killed at least 42 people…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":757632,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5],"tags":[52819,57,409,8132,50,80,10419,8572,103,107],"class_list":["post-757631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-world","tag-chad","tag-general-news","tag-immigration","tag-military-and-defense","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-sudan","tag-violence","tag-world","tag-world-news"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116479214828636159","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=757631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/757632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=757631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=757631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=757631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
