South Sudanese minister of petroleum, Stephen Dhieu Dau, told Sudan
Tribune on Sunday that his government had agreed with the government
of Sudan to settle unpaid arrears by giving oil instead of cash.
“A consensus has been reached that the government of the republic of
South Sudan will not be paying cash to Sudan but in kind as payment
for the accumulated unpaid arrears," said Dau.
Minister Dau did not say how much money the government owed Sudan to
be paid in kind and how many barrels of crude oil will be given and
for how long the payment will continue.
He confirmed arrangements that the government will also be giving
Sudanese government oil for a new power plant in Um Dabakir area in
the While Nile state.
Also, South Sudan will also provide crude oil to Sudan to produce
electricity for Khartoum refinery where crude oil is processed for the
local market.
Last week the Sudanese oil ministry announced that South Sudan will
provides Sudan
with 28,000 barrel of crude oil per day to be used in power production
and cover its local needs.
In line with the signed deal; 18.000 barrel oil crude per day will go
to the power plant in the White Nile state and 10.000 barrel of oil
crude will be supplied to Khartoum refinery in order to meet a growing
demand for petroleum products.
The two once one, but split countries last week agreed to review the
charges paid to Sudan for transporting the oil from South Sudan
through its Port Sudan.

" Unpaid arrears" very interesting. It really puzzles my mind if I
see my fellow country men/women engage in crying their lungs out when
it’s something lamenting The Kirr’s or Machar’s? They go nuts! Here is
my take, it seems like most don’t see or comprehend the magnitude that
South Sudan is paying to Sudan. This arrears is HUGE, we ( South
Sudanese) should denounce this move in a strongest way.

The ’leaders’ in Juba have to be the dumbest people on the
face of the earth. It’s clear now that Khartoum wasn’t wrestling with
the SPLM as a whole for over two decades, but against Garang — the
mastermind that was actually capable of strategic thought.

The country is already bankrupt!!! We will be paying Sudan forever
while China will be getting our oil for long time to cover loans the
Government has been getting.
South Sudanese should raise up for their rights or else they will
be living poor life with many wars to come!!!

South Sudan is not going to escape being ripped off by Sudan as
long its depends on Sudan for its oil transit!
If South Sudan is going to truly benefit from its oil; then South
Sudan need to make a long term plan to be utterly independent from
Sudan by all means!
South Sudan is like a blind man being serve by someone with 100%
vision! >>>>
