South Sudan ready for oil resumption
Saturday, 24 November 2012 08:23 Diana Wani South Sudan >>> . South Sudan says it remains ready for the resumption of oil production and export through Sudan, despite the recent impasse. Juba has recently rescheduled its plans to resume oil output, blaming Sudan for presenting new demands. Addressing journalists after a cabinet meeting on Friday, the spokesperson of the Government, Barnaba Marial Benjamin, said the government did not receive an official explanation from Khartoum on the delay. Sudan's government had insisted that oil production would only recommence if South Sudan gives reassurance to disarm SPLA-North rebels in Sudan's Blue Nile and Southern Kordufan States. Juba denies any links to the rebels and also accuses Sudan of supporting militias inside its territory. South Sudan officially complained to the United Nations Security Council and the African Union, accusing the Khartoum government of conducting aerial attacks in the Kiir Adiem area in Northern Bahr el Ghazel State, but Sudan denies they were involved. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
