Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir has threatened not to recognise the new state of South Sudan if it tries to claim the disputed Abyei region.
South Sudan will become independent in July after deciding in a referendum to split from the north.
Oil-producing Abyei should also have had a vote in January on whether to join north or south, but it was delayed by a dispute over who should vote.
An estimated 1.5 million people died in the two-decade north-south civil war.
