Sudan vs South Sudan
As the minister reported, Sudan combat aircraft bombed oil fields and wells to extract water seventy-four kilometers from the border. Sudanese troops occupied Unity province, the heart of South Sudan’s oil production. The fact is that Khartoum does not recognize the sovereignty of its neighbors in this region and makes claims to Juba.
Sudanese authorities have previously accused South Sudan of supporting insurgents operating in several provinces north of the border. However, Juba categorically denied the charges.
The invasion is not the “first swallow” of a regional conflict. A few days ago, Sudanese rebels seized an army base near the South Sudanese border. And Khartoum, for the umpteenth time, accused its neighbors of supporting the operation.
The state of South Sudan gained independence as a result of a referendum (2011). But the division of the country by official borders did not give the parties to the world: Juba and Khartoum can not solve the border disputes and in turn blame each other for supporting the separatists conducting operations in the two countries. In addition, non-friendly neighbors are quarreling for economic reasons: for example, because of prices for transporting South Sudanese oil through Sudan.
As a result, incidents with the use of weapons. Civilians are often the victims of conflicts.
