KHARTOUM, April 1 (Reuters) - At least 40 people have been killed in tribal clashes in Sudan's troubled Darfur region, aid groups said on Sunday.

Tribal fighting is becoming a growing concern for U.N. officials, who say the clashes have killed more people than the conflict between government forces and rebels, with hundreds dead in the past few months.

Aid groups said at least 23 people were wounded in the clashes on Saturday in southern Darfur near Diyala.

A carcass of a donkey lies among the carnage in Tiero village in eastern Chad in this undated handout photograph. The United Nations refugee agency UNHCR said on Tuesday that up to 400 people are estimated to have been killed in Chad during cross-border attacks by Sudanese Janjaweed militia some 10 days ago. The agency said last week that Chadian authorities had reported an initial toll of at least 65 dead in the March 31 attacks on two villages in eastern Chad, Tiero and Marena, where an estimated 8,000 people lived.
