Cairo, Oct 20: Two Sudanese officials say that tribal clashes in the country's southern province of Blue Nile have killed 170 people over the past two days.

The officials say the fighting erupted on Wednesday. They spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to talk to the media.

The clashes are the latest in inter-communal violence across Sudan's neglected south. Fighting in Blue Nile that erupted in July had killed 149 people by early October and last week, renewed clashes there killed 13, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, or OCHA.

OCHA had no confirmation of the latest surge and casualties but said the violence has displaced at least 1,200 people.

New Delhi (PTI): Sanju Samson bossed the chase with authority, anchoring a modest 156-run target with a fluent 87 not out as Chennai Super Kings outclassed Delhi Capitals by eight wickets in the IPL here on Tuesday.

Samson's knock came off just 52 balls with seven fours and six sixes, batting through the innings as CSK completed the chase in just 17.3 overs giving a huge boost to their net run-rate.

Electing to bat on a tricky surface, Delhi Capitals were restricted to 155/7.

West Indies left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein set the tone with the new ball, returning tidy figures of 1/19, including 14 dot balls.

Reduced to 69/5 in 11 overs, Delhi found some late impetus through Tristan Stubbs (38; 31 balls) and Sameer Rizvi (40 not out; 24 balls), who stitched together a crucial 65-run (off 47 balls) stand to give the innings a respectable total.

Brief Scores:

Delhi Capitals: 155 for 7 in 20 overs (Tristan Stubbs 38, Sameer Rizvi 40 not out; Noor Ahmed 2/22)

Chennai Super Kings 159 for two in 17.3 overs (Sanju Samson 87 not out, Kartik Sharma 41 not out). CSK win by eight wickets.
