Al Jazeera English | South Sudan facing food crisis | 30 April 2012

Ongoing clashes with Khartoum over the countries’ contested border area have halted the import of cheap food goods from the North, leaving Juba to rely on high-cost goods imported from southern neighbour Uganda. Another full-scale war between the two rival Sudans would make an already tough situation much worse. Al Jazeera’s Peter Greste reports from Juba.
