...Around Mutiusinazita, the schools are empty and the clinics are filling up with malnutrition cases, both children and adult. "We have cases of children fainting because of hunger," says Samson Chauke, a teacher at a nearby school.

South Sudanese officials say that they are not involved in either the production or marketing of the oil, much less the calculation of how much their share of the petroleum pie should be. (Oil accounts for 95% of Juba's income.) Equally problematic is the ownership of Abyei, an oil-rich region caught between...
