Sudan Declares War Against South Sudan

Sudan President Declares War On South Sudan -- Wall Street Journal

KAMPALA Uganda (Dow Jones)--Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, Thursday declared war on South Sudan, vowing to topple its government.

The move comes after Sudan's parliament passed a resolution branding South Sudan's ruling party an enemy that "must be fought until it is defeated."

Sudan and South Sudan are embroiled in the worst clashes along their poorly defined border since the secession of the South last summer.

Both countries continue to ignore calls to end the fighting.
