Omar Bashir and Salva Kiir, the presidents of Sudan and South Sudan respectively, are working together again to keep oil production flowing. “The two sides express satisfaction over the progress made with regard to the flow and export of oil,” the two presidents said in a joint release after talks in Juba.
South Sudan’s output now sits at around 190,000 bpd, down from previous figures released by Juba’s Petroleum Ministry. In September it was reported that the country was producing at a rate of 240,000 bpd; the ministry credits the mistaken number to a clerical error.
During Bashir’s visit to Juba, only his second since South Sudan became its own country, the presidents worked to strike a unified note over the disputed territory of Abyei. The joint statement said the two sides would seek to establish an administration and police force for Abyei and said “the 2% share of Abyei area in oil revenue, including arrears, will be paid to the Abyei administration.”
