An interesting, sad report:Link:http://www.foreignpolicy.com/article...abyei?page=0,0The first interviews with fleeing residents of this Sudanese border town make one thing clear: the regime in Khartoum knows exactly what it is doing.

Dear all,
Could you explain me who fight whom in S.Sudan now? I have my colleges there and I worry about their security (they are civilians).
Thank you.
Her is a link to a RSS news feed of articles over the last month of fighting there. The feed will update itself continually. http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&gl...F-8&output=rss

Perhaps he is preparing a TV documentary?

The Khartoum government has been attacking African tribal groups who got trapped on the wrong side of a line on a map when the two countries split last July
