US President Barack Obama made a videotaped message to the people of Sudan and South Sudan that aired Saturday, saying “conflict is not inevitable,” and their leaders have a chance not to drag them into a war, Voice of America reported.

In a YouTube Internet message, Obama called on both countries to end military actions against the other. He said the presidents of both countries must have the courage to resume talks toward a peaceful resolution to their dispute.

President Obama’s message follows a day of celebration in Sudan, where citizens and leaders cheered the government’s claim that the military has retaken control of oil fields in Heglig from South Sudan.
