Sudan: Oil Will Keep Flowing

After meeting on Tuesday with President Salva Kiir of South Sudan, President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan said oil from South Sudan would continue to flow through his country’s pipelines. Although Mr. Bashir had ordered the pipelines closed and accused South Sudan of supporting rebel movements in his country, the order was never carried out. Mr. Bashir said the presidents had agreed to “remove all obstacles” in relations and to fully carry out cooperation agreements, including the flow of South Sudan’s oil for export through Sudanese pipelines.
