CAIRO—Two days of tribal violence in western Sudan’s long-troubled Darfur region killed at least 5 people, tribal leaders, and a rights group said Friday.

The violence between African Masalit tribesmen and Arab shepherds in West Darfur erupted Thursday after two armed assailants fatally shot a merchant in a remote area, leaders from both groups said.
