蘇丹稱已對南蘇丹宣戰，中國籲剋制大綱

China's leader is calling for restraint from the two Sudans, after South Sudan's President Salva Kiir said Sudan has "declared war" on his country. Mr. Kiir made his remarks Tuesday during talks with Chinese President Hu Jintao in Beijing. Chinese state television later reported that Mr. Hu stated he hopes both Sudans will cease conflicts along their border and settle their issues through peaceful negotiations.

Sudan and South Sudan have been on the edge of full-scale war for weeks because of disputes over borders and oil revenue. China is a major buyer of oil from both countries. Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, said Monday there will be no further talks and that the south only understands the language of "guns and ammUnition." South Sudanese officials said Tuesday that Sudanese warplanes dropped bombs overnight in Panakwach, an area of the south's Unity State.中國領導人呼籲南北蘇丹保持克制。此前，南蘇丹總統基爾說，蘇丹已對南蘇丹"宣戰"。基爾是星期二在北京與中國國家主席胡錦濤會談時說這番話的。中國國家電視臺之後報導說，胡錦濤表示，他希望南北蘇丹停止在邊界地區的衝突，通過和平談判來解決問題。

由於邊界和石油收入等爭議問題，蘇丹與南蘇丹幾個星期以來一直處於全面戰爭的邊緣。中國是這兩國石油的主要購買國。蘇丹總統巴希爾星期一說，蘇丹不會與南蘇丹進一步會談，南蘇丹只懂得“槍炮”的語言。南蘇丹官員星期二說，蘇丹的戰機夜間在南蘇丹團結州的帕納克瓦赫地區扔下了炸彈。
