Heglig
Heglig or Panthou as it is known to the Dinka (also spelled Heglieg or Pandthou) is a small town at the border between the South Kordofan state of Sudan and the Unity State in South Sudan. The entire Heglig or Panthou is recognized by South Sudanese government as a disputed area, but Sudan is considered it as its own. The Dinka tribe who claim Panthou or Heglig as their own hometown state that it was the original name that was translated from Dinka word of tree called Thou preceded by Pand for land or area into an Arabic word heglig, for the same kind of trees. The area was contested during the Sudanese Civil War. In mid-April 2012, the South Sudanese army captured the Heglig (Panthou) oil field from Sudan.〔(Sudan says South Sudan controls largest oil field ) - BBC News, 10 April 2012〕
Sudan claimed it took back the oil-rich region of Heglig after a 10-day occupation by South Sudan's army (SPLA).〔https://web.archive.org/web/20120711093743/http://www.sudantribune.com/AU-pushing-roadmap-for-resolution,42398〕
==Etymology==
''Heglig'' is the Arabic name of the "desert date", the fruit of the ''Balanites aegyptiaca'' tree, which is found in most parts of Africa and the Middle East. Sudanese Sufis use ''heglig'' (''lalob'') seeds to make rosaries. ''Lalob'' is also a favorite food for camels, goats, sheep and cattle. South Sudan does not recognize the name Heglig for the town. During the 10-day occupation by the SPLA, South Sudan restored the name of the town Panthou, a Dinka translation of the word ''heglig''. Panthou is a combination of two words in Dinka; Pand which mean the area or home and Thou for the tree (desert dates), in which Panthou is mean land or home of desert's date. There are many places around the Dinka areas that have the name of Panthou. It was translated to Arabic word of heglig when the oil was discovered on it.
