Violence breaks out by Sudan's north-south border
New reports of violence emerged Monday in the disputed region of Abyei along Sudan's north-south divide, where observers fear the unrest could spark more fighting amid an otherwise peaceful and jubilant independence referendum in the south.
Abyei remains the most contentious sticking point between north and south following a two-decade civil war that left 2 million dead. Even President Barack Obama, who applauded this week's historic referendum on independence in the south, warned that violence in the Abyei region should cease. (AP)
