Most ominous, the export of oil from South Sudan through Sudan is about to cease, which could deal a crippling economic blow to both countries. The oil resumed flowing in April after a long dispute over revenue-sharing. South Sudan gets almost all its government budget from the export of oil, but it relies on the Sudan pipeline, and the flow has been halved in recent weeks. This time, Sudan says it is halting the flow of the south’s crude to a Red Sea port after Aug. 7 because of the south’s support for rebels fighting the government in Khartoum. South Sudan denies backing the rebels and accuses Khartoum of doing the same.
