U.S. envoy criticizes Sudanese president's remarks on Abyei

Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir said the disputed region of Abyei belongs to the north.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Oil-rich region of Abyei has been a flashpoint between the north and the south
• Abyei belongs to the north, the president says
• South Sudan voted to split from the north in January
• It is scheduled to declare its independence in July

The United States is slamming the Sudanese president's assertion that his government would not recognize the new state of South Sudan if it claims the disputed oil-rich region of Abyei.
South Sudan voted to split from the north and is scheduled to declare its independence in July.
In a speech broadcast on state television Wednesday, President Omar al-Bashir said the disputed region of Abyei belongs to the north.
"Abyei is a part of the north and will remain a part of the north," he said, according to the Sudan News Agency.
A top U.S. envoy criticized the remarks.
"Those comments are not helpful at all, and they only serve to inflame and heighten tensions," said Johnnie Carson, the assistant secretary of state for African affairs.
"It is important that both sides ... focus intensely on trying to resolve the key issues that have not been completed under the CPA. Abyei is one of them."
The CPA refers to a comprehensive peace agreement reached in 2005 that allowed South Sudan to vote in a referendum on whether to split from the north. The referendum was part of an agreement that ended two decades of violence between the north and oil-rich south. The unrest led to the deaths of 2 million people, many from starvation.
South Sudan voters overwhelmingly approved the split in January. Al-Bashir has said he will honor the results, though analysts are concerned he might not keep his word.

During his news conference with reporters Thursday, Carson urged al-Bashir and President of South Sudan Salva Kiir to meet and resolve outstanding issues before July.

How U.S. forces killed Osama bin Laden

      In the dark of night, U.S. helicopters approached a high-walled compound in Pakistan on a mission to capture or kill one of the world's most notorious terrorist leaders.
Less than 40 minutes later -- early Monday morning in Pakistan -- Osama bin Laden was dead, along with four others inside the complex, and the U.S. forces departed with the slain al Qaeda leader's body to fulfill a vow that originated shortly after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.

Return to Everest

In spring 2009, four of the most accomplished climbers in the world had just one thing on their minds: conquering Mount Everest—again.

The team, sponsored by Eddie Bauer's First Ascent Clothing and Gear Line, began its ascent on March 30. Over the next two months, the climbers made their way up the world's tallest mountain in dangerous conditions, fighting hypothermia, altitude sickness, and sheer physical exhaustion to achieve something few can boast.

Mountaineer Peter Whittaker gathered the group as part of a quest to continue his family legacy; he is the nephew of legendary explorer Jim Whittaker, the first American to summit Mount Everest in 1963. Joining Whittaker was Ed Viesturs, a veteran mountaineer who has summitted all 14 of the world's highest peaks without the aid of bottled oxygen; Dave Hahn, who was going for a record 11th Everest ascent; and Melissa Arnot, who was attempting to become the first female American to summit Everest without supplemental oxygen.
