Sudan's president has said he will not withdraw troops from the disputed Abyei border region seized over the weekend.
President Omar al-Bashir said the area belonged to the north.
He added his army would respond to any possible "provocation" from the army of South Sudan, due to become an independent state on 9 July.
Northern troops seized the territory after southern forces had ambushed a convoy of its forces in the area, killing 22 people.
