Abstract

Fighting continues in border areas and raises fears of a wider war. As Sudan and South Sudan sink deeper into full‐scale conflict and hostile rhetoric, Sudanese President Omar Hassan al‐Bashir on April 29th declared a state of emergency in some cities of three states neighbouring South Sudan – namely South Kordofan, Sennar and White Nile. The presidential decree came after heavy clashes between the Sudanese and south Sudanese armies over Heglig, reports Sudan Tribune ( 29/4 ). The Sudan Armed Forces ( SAF ) are also battling the combatants of the rebel Sudan People’s Liberation Movement ‐/Army‐North ( SPLM/A‐N ) and its allies from Darfur rebel groups mainly in South Kordofan and some parts of the Blue Nile state. The state of emergency is already imposed in other states bordering South Sudan including Blue Nile. Due to the rebellion in Darfur, a state of emergency has been in place in the western half of the boundaries since 2003. The measure suspends the constitution and imposes a trade embargo against the South. Nationalist feeling has intensified in Sudan after South Sudan occupied the north’s main Heglig oil field, part of South Kordofan state, on April 10th for 10 days,
