Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir warned Friday that his country is close to going to war against South Sudan, according to an AFP report.

In response to the move, South Sudan halted oil exports, which usually pass through Sudan, earning that country a substantial amount of money in taxes.
The countries are also locked in a border dispute over the oil-rich Abyei region, which both claim as their own sovereign territory.
