The East Sudan War is an ongoing conflict in south-east Sudan over control of the resource rich area of the Upper Nile region of South Sudan. Tension between the two countries reached a massive high when South Sudanese militia occupied the area to protect it and East Sudan tripled the size of their border guard force in a month. Despite the fact that their guard forces were larger than the entire SPLA, East Sudan held off invading the country for fear of reprisal from other Sudanese successor states. This fear was removed in late November when several of the successors to Sudan signed a treaty declaring that they wouldn't intervene if South Sudan was invaded.
