Sudan-to-Egypt direction (5)

I believe the answer is:

north

(Other definitions for north that I've seen before include "who is opposed to East-West partnership?" , "Lord -, PM; bearing" , "Direction that's usually "up" on a map" , "Thorn (anag.)" , "A quarter" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
