SUDAN: Khartoum accuses Juba of supporting rebels fighting Sudan

The
government of Khartoum, Sudan has resounded accusations that Juba is supporting
rebels fighting its regime.
“If the
Government of South Sudan does not stop supporting the insurgents, measures
might be taken to protect the security of Sudan by closing the border again,”
warned Ibrahim Mahmoud, the assistant of President Omar al-Bashir, The Middle
East Online reported.
He says
Khartoum could also withdraw special status of citizenship accorded to nearly
200,000 South Sudanese taking refuge in Sudan since December 2013.
But, South
Sudan’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Dr. Barnaba Marial Benjamin denies Juba
support to SPLM-North, saying President Kiir’s administration is persuading the
group to pursue peaceful means to their conflict.
