苏丹和南苏丹总统峰会商讨解决棘手问题

The presidents of Sudan and South Sudan meet again Monday after failing to reach a deal in talks Sunday on border disputes and oil sharing.

President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan and the president of South Sudan, Salva Kiir, are holding the talks in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.

They met for several hours Sunday and were seen holding a friendly chat outside the hotel room after the meeting broke up.

Officials from both countries expect the presidents to shortly finalize agreements on outstanding issues that nearly pushed them into war earlier this year. They include dueling claims on the oil-rich Abyei region.

Sudan also accuses the south of arming rebels in two southern regions, while South Sudan accuses the Sudanese army of bombing raids.

The United Nations gave the two Sudans until this past Saturday to reach an agreement or face possible sanctions.

苏丹总统巴希尔和南苏丹总统基尔在埃塞俄比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴会谈。两位总统星期天会谈了数小时，会议结束有人看到两人在下榻的酒店友好交谈。

两国的政府官员预期两位总统很快将就尚待解决的问题达成一致。双方的争端今年早些时候几乎导致两国之间开战。这些问题包括两国都声称对有丰富石油蕴藏的阿卜耶伊地区拥有主权。

苏丹指称南苏丹在苏丹南部两个地区向反政府力量提供武器，南苏丹指称苏丹军队发动炸弹袭击。联合国曾要求两国在上星期六之前达成协议，否则将面临制裁。
