KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) -- Sudan's president has threatened to topple the government of South Sudan during a visit to an oil-rich border town that has sparked a recent surge in violence between the two countries.
Omar al-Bashir's comments Monday were the latest in a war of words against Sudan's southern neighbors.
The two countries disagree over where the border between them lies and ownership of oil resources in the region.
This latest outbreak of violence threatens to escalate into a full-scale war.
Al-Bashir vowed during his visit to Heglig to press ahead with his military campaign until, according to him, all southern troops or affiliated forces are chased out of the north.
His forces bombed a major town inside South Sudan Monday.
