A Sudanese woman carries wood on her donkey cart, a main means of transport in South Kordofan, Sudan’s only oil producing state where the army is battling insurgents, on October 17, 2011. Fighting in the area, where rebel militias who once fought alongside the ex-southern rebels have been battling the Sudanese army since June, spilled last month into Blue Nile state, which also has strong political ties to the south.
