Sudan and South Sudan have reached an agreement on oil after months of wrangling that brought the two rivals back to conflict and risked sanctions.
The pair continued talks after the expiry of a UN-endorsed African Union deadline on August 2, announcing the deal at the weekend.
“This is definitely something to be happy about, this is the first agreement the two countries ever made since the separation which is satisfactory to both sides. It’s the beginning of reconciliation and developing good neighbourly relations,” Sabir Hassan, head of Sudan’s economic negotiation team, told the Financial Times on Saturday.
