Today’s Reading
The UN Security Council has welcomed the mostly peaceful and orderly referendum in Southern Sudan that is widely expected to result in secession.
However, it also urged the north and south to resolve outstanding issues, including the disputed Abyei region.
The head of the UN mission to Sudan said recent tensions in Abyei, on the border between north and south, could lead to instability for months to come.
The Security Council also expressed concern about the violence in Darfur.
Clashes between rebels and government troops in the western region have displaced 40,000 people over the past month. (BBC)
