Sudanese MPs have voted unanimously to brand South Sudan "an enemy". 苏丹议会一致通过决议将南苏丹列为“敌人”。 "The government of South Sudan is an enemy and all Sudanese state agencies have to treat her accordingly," the resolution said. A Khartoum information ministry1 official told the BBC the move was linked to South Sudan's seizure2 last week of the Heglig oil field. South Sudan had accused Sudan of launching attacks on its territory from the frontier oil field. The country seceded3 from Sudan in July last year following a civil war which ended in 2005. But a number of major disputes remain, including over oil and the official demarcation of the international border, and there have been a number of clashes since. UN camp bombed The BBC's James Copnall in Khartoum says the full ramifications4 of the parliamentary vote are not clear, but it is evident that both countries are close to a full war. The speaker of parliament, Ahmed Ibrahim al-Tahir, called for Sudan to overthrow5 the South Sudanese government, the AFP news agency reports. Dr Khalid Al Mubarak, London's Sudan embassy spokesperson, told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme that South Sudan has made itself an enemy by crossing the border and occupying Sudan's land. "It is not the people of the south but the government that is the real enemy and we know how to confront them," Rabbie Abd al-Attie, a senior adviser6 to Sudan's information minister, told the BBC. Khartoum has vowed7 to use "all means" to recapture Heglig - but Sudanese officials deny Monday's vote amounts to a declaration of war, adding that Sudan does not want an all-out war but simply needs to regain8 its territories. Heglig, which used to provide more than half of Sudan's oil, is internationally accepted to be part of Sudanese territory - although the border area is yet to be demarcated(划分界线,区别) . The parliamentary vote in Khartoum came as a UN spokesman confirmed that Sudanese planes had bombed a UN peacekeepers' camp in South Sudan's border area on Sunday. No-one was hurt during the attack on the small UN base in Mayom village in Unity9 state, Kouider Zerrouk said. But at least 15 people have been killed in other bombing raids in South Sudan over the weekend, eyewitnesses10 told the BBC. The African Union has demanded South Sudan's unconditional11 withdrawal12 from Heglig, calling its occupation "illegal and unacceptable", but also condemned13 Sudan for carrying out aerial(空中的) bombardments of South Sudan. Sudan has denied being behind the air raids. On Thursday, the UN Security Council called for an "immediate14" ceasefire and expressed "deep and growing alarm at the escalating15(逐步上升) conflict". 点击收听单词发音
