Another War In Sudan Could Cost $100 Billion: Report -- Yahoo News/Reuters

JUBA, Sudan (Reuters) – The cost to Sudan and its neighbors of any return to civil war sparked by January's referendum on independence for southern Sudan could total $100 billion, a report said on Thursday.

The south is widely expected to choose independence in the January 9 vote -- allowed for in a 2005 deal to end a conflict that killed 2 million people -- while the north is anxious to hold on to the oil-rich south.
