KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudan hopes calm will return to South Sudan to avoid any spillover of ethnic conflict to oil-rich areas along their border, a Sudanese cabinet minister said on Wednesday after what the Juba government says was an attempted coup.

Sudanese Information Minister Ahmed Belal Othman also told Reuters that the flow of South Sudanese oil to Sudan had not been interrupted by the unrest in Juba, which broke away from Khartoum in 2011 following a referendum on independence.
