Sudan 'stealing oil' from South - Pagan Amum

South Sudan has accused Khartoum of stealing its oil amid a row about how to split revenues after southern independence.

At least one million barrels of oil are reportedly being held in Port Sudan. Sudan denies that exports are being halted but says it will take 23% of revenues until a final deal is reached on how to share out oil money.

South Sudan seceded in July, taking 75% of oil production, but this is exported through Sudan's territory. China, a major buyer of oil from both countries, has urged them to resolve their differences but five days of negotiations in Ethiopia have failed to reach a deal. [...]

"If the GOS [Government of Sudan] does steal South Sudan oil, or if others try to purchase the south's stolen oil from the GOS, the Republic of South Sudan will take all legal measures necessary," he said in a statement. South Sudan has to export oil via the north because it has no port or refineries of its own.
