CAIRO: South Sudan’s first oil exports will reach Sudan in mid-April after resuming production, Sudan’s state news agency Suna said yesterday, citing a senior oil official.
After months of negotiations both African countries agreed earlier this month to resume cross-border oil-flows after tensions between them eased. Landlocked South Sudan, which shut down its entire output in a row with Khartoum over oil fees last year, needs to export its oil through the Sudanese port. The first southern cargo would cross Sudan’s border between April 15 and 20 and then go to Port Sudan, Secretary-General in Sudan’s oil ministry, said.
