Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi warned on Sunday that the partition of Sudan would be a "contagious disease" that could spread to other African countries. "What is happening in Sudan could become a contagious disease that affects the whole of Africa," Kadhafi said at the opening of an Arab-Africa summit in the Libyan coastal city of Sirte.
"We must recognise that this event is dangerous," he said in reference to a January 9 referendum on southern Sudan independence which could see Africa's largest country split in two. "The partition of Sudan is likely to change the map of the country. But other (African countries) will change too," the Libyan leader told the gathering, which is being attended by Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir.
