Sudan Won’t Budge on Oil Pipe Fee Issue

摘要

Sudan is sticking to its tough demands in the dispute over pipeline fees that has shut South Sudan’s oil production since mid-January and waiting for talks led by the former South African president, Thabo Mbeki, to find a solution. With South Sudan’s self-imposed shutdown keeping about 320,000 barrels per day from world oil markets because of the row, Sudan’s oil minister says Sudan’s proposed $36 per barrel fee remains on the table at the latest round of negotiations in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
