North Sudan Backs Down, War Avoided

Sudanese President Al-Bashir has announced the demobilization of his nation's military. The expected clash between southern Sudan, northern Sudan, and the United States will seemingly not occur. 

The North Sudanese Ambassador , Abd Al-Makhtoum, said that Sudan would demobilize if the US would agree to attend a summit and discuss with them.

According to the ambassador, the summit would approve southern independence on the condition that they compensate the North for economic damages that would result from the separation. It is unknown if this would be done (or if it is even plausible) or what would happen should the United States not agree.

Until this planned summit, war in Africa has seemingly been avoided.
