Tribal clashes in northwest Tanzania have killed at least 12 people,
with many others injured or displaced from their homes. The fighting
between the Kurya and Luo tribes broke out on Thursday, in the Rorya
district, when Kurya cattle rustlers invaded a Luo village and stole
some cows. Local officials say many people have been seriously injured
in the fighting, and that dozens of homes and properties have gone up in
flames. Police are in the area and have been collecting the bodies.
Tanzanian newspapers report the government plans to send a larger force
to the region to restore security.
