Sudanese women and children stand in front of burnt-out shops in Muhajiriya town, South Darfur, October 10, 2007. The town, a stronghold of the Sudan Liberation Army's (SLA) Minni Minnawi faction, experienced heavy fighting on Tuesday in which the SLA said killed 45 people and destroyed half the town. Sudan's army has denied attacking the only Darfur rebel faction to sign a peace deal with Khartoum, saying tribal clashes were to blame for the fighting. Picture taken October 10, 2007.
