Sudan’s air forces bombs oilfields in Unity State

On March 26, 2012, the Sudanese Armed Forces or SAF bombed oil fields in South Sudan's Unity State. The
 bombing was a result of clashes between the SAF and the the army from South Sudan called the Saudan People's Liberation Army or SPLA in the oil-rich town of Heglig. Sout Sudan's president Salva Kiir anounced that his army the SPLA took over Heglig, and that the clash was brought on by the SFA's aggression. The clashes in Heglig  and aerial bombings between the SFA and SPLA ended a period of relative peace between the recently-separated countries. The confrontation now makes the possiblity of an all out war more possible. I think that this bombing in Heglig is terrible because this hurts both parts of Sudan, because now the idea of war between them is a greater possibility and I don't think either country needs that right now because they are still trying to establish themselves as separate countries.
