KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) - Former southern rebels expressed dismay Sunday over the Sudanese president's warning that his government was ready to go back to war if necessary.
A 2005 peace agreement that ended a 22-year civil war between north and south Sudan appears increasingly shaky since Cabinet ministers from the south walked out of the national unity government last month. Southerners accuse President Omar al-Bashir of failing to live up to its commitments under the agreement.
A return to fighting across central and southern Sudan would likely exacerbate a separate conflict in the western Darfur region, where more than 200,000 people have been killed since ethnic African rebels took up arms against al-Bashir's Arab-dominated government in 2003.
