Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir continued to slam Egypt in the Mideast press on Tuesday, driven by his quest to retake Shalatin and Halayeb — Egyptian territory that is also claimed by Sudan. The venue this time: An interview with Qatari newspaper Al Sharq in which he is reported to have said that Egypt occupied Halayeb at a time when Khartoum was “busy rallying against the rebellion from the South.” He said that the occupation created a deep chasm in Egyptian-Sudanese relations and that Khartoum is willing to go to arbitration to resolve the matter.
