14 killed in Sudan riot
Police clashed with rioting tribesmen today in the coastal city of Port Sudan, leaving at least 14 people dead and 16 injured, a government official said.
Riots involving Beja tribesmen broke out early this morning in Port Sudan, 425 miles northeast of the capital of Khartoum, Red Sea governor General Hatim Al Wasilah said. The area is underdeveloped and poor and the rioting appeared to be economically motivated.
