Sudan's army clashed with tribal militiamen in Port Sudan late Monday, witnesses said, in the first fighting in the coastal city since war erupted in the country in April.
A witness in the Red Sea city said there was "an exchange of gunfire between the army and a militia led by Sheba Darar", a leader from the local Beja tribe, in central Port Sudan.
