Fighting breaks out between Sudan's Army and former Southern Rebels
BBC News, Khartoum

29 November 2006
Fighting has broken out between the Sudanese army and the former southern rebels, the Sudan People's Liberation Army, the United Nations has said.
All non-essential UN and aid agency staff have been leaving the southern town of Malakal.
There are reports of heavy gunfire, but no reliable word on casualties.
The violence is one of the most serious violations of a peace deal between Sudan's Arab north and black African south signed nearly two years ago.
What started as clashes between southern troops and pro-Khartoum militia has escalated.
Forces from the national army and the former southern rebels, the SPLA, have fought in the streets of Malakal.
Located on the banks of the Nile near Sudan's oilfields, Malakal is one of the tensest towns in the south.
During 20 years of civil war, Khartoum armed numerous tribal militias in the area to enable it to begin extracting oil.
A final peace deal between the Arab north and black African south was signed in January 2005, but it has not been easy to get the militia to hand in their weapons.
Unlike the continuing conflict in Darfur, Sudan's north-south ceasefire has largely held.
There are 10,000 UN peacekeepers deployed in southern Sudan at a cost of $1bn a year.
A spokeswoman said they had no mandate to intervene and that the UN was encouraging both sides to peacefully resolve the situation.
