'Abd Al-Mun'im Sa'id Warns of Anarchy in Sudan

In advance of the referendum on South Sudan's independence, set for January 9, 2011, Arab states, and in particular Egypt, have expressed deep concern about the possibility of Sudan's partition into two sovereign states. Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmad Abu Al-Gheit explained that Egypt's main worry was that this outcome might lead to the partition of other Arab states. On another occasion, he pointed out that Egypt had suggested various solutions to the crisis, such as establishing a confederation.
