Relief Agencies Warn of Looming Conflict in Sudan

Aid agencies are warning of a possible major conflict in Southern Sudan which could pose a fresh security threat to its neighbours like Kenya if no urgent international intervention is taken to save the current tottering peace deal.

In a report, the 10 agencies say the peace agreement between the Sudanese government and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement that ended one of Africa's longest and deadliest wars is on the brink of collapse.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) director, Richard Poole, argues that, "We are very concerned that the deteriorating humanitarian situation and frustration over the lack of progress in the peace deal will exacerbate existing tensions and boil over."
