There were no injuries or damage in the attempted attack, but it underscored the heightened tensions in the restive region where a bout of tribal violence has killed around 230 people since last week

The area where violence erupted between Arab nomads and members of the non-Arab Massalit ethnic group, in El Geneina, the capital of West Darfur, on Jan. 20, 2020.Armed men opened fire overnight, trying to storm the residence of a provincial governor in Sudan’s restive Darfur region but were repelled by guards, officials said Wednesday.

The Darfur 24 news outlet reported heavy gunfire in Genena’s neighbourhood of Gamarek where the governor’s residence is located. Earlier this week, officials from the Sudanese capital of Khartoum visited Genena to discuss the tribal clashes with the governor. Authorities in West Darfur imposed a 24-hour curfew in all of the province and authorized military and police to use “all necessary force” to regain order. The central government in Khartoum also deployed security reinforcements.
