Sudan has released four foreigners who were detained three weeks ago near the border with South Sudan following weeks of heavy clashes between the two African neighbours, officials said yesterday.
Sudan accused the four – a Briton, a Norwegian, a South African and a South Sudanese – of entering an oil-producing border area illegally to spy for South Sudan. South Sudanese officials had denied Sudan’s allegations, saying the men were working with the United Nations and aid groups clearing mines, and had got lost in the remote territory.
