Sudans: Trench marks new border as rains approach
TACHUIEN, South Sudan, MAY 15 (AP/UNB) - A trench dug across a red dirt road marks part of the shifting border this week between Sudan and South Sudan, old enemies whose forces have clashed in recent weeks.
America and other nations are trying to stop all-out war from breaking out between Sudan and the world's newest country, but the weather might do more to dampen hostilities. The sky is a low-hanging gray, portending seasonal rains which will turn the earth into mud, impassable to tanks and trucks.
Lingering disputes over borders, oil and other issues led to heavy battles last month that threaten to re-ignite a decades-long war that ended when a fragile peace was forged in 2005.
