Force is not an option to the oil friction Thursday, 16 February 2012 18:29 South Sudan >>> .The British Embassy in Khartoum said on Wednesday that there can be no military solution to tensions between Sudan and South Sudan. The embassy said it welcomed a memorandum on non-aggression and cooperation signed between Juba and Khartoum last Friday.
But it expressed "grave concern at the recent build-up of forces and escalation of tensions in conflict-affected border areas." The embassy urged both governments to fully respect the provisions of the memorandum. In a related development the International Energy Agency said revenue disputes between Sudan and South Sudan means overall production estimates are down by 25 percent. The International Energy Agency, in its monthly oil report, said the failure of both sides to find a resolution to a dispute over the sharing of oil revenue meant production could decline by 25 percent. "While it is impossible to predict the outcome, the broader set of economic and political factors at play, mean that the two countries' oil output will remain at risk at least for the remainder of the year," the report read. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
