Sudan threatens to block pipeline from South
5:34 AM
Omar al-Bashir, the Sudanese leader, has threatened to shut down oil flow carrying raw from South Sudan if there is no deal on oil before its independence on July 9. "I give the south three alternatives for the oil. The North is to continue getting its share, or the North gets fees for every barrel that the South sends to Port Sudan," Aljazeera.net quotes Bashir as saying in a televised speech. "If they don't accept either of these, we are going to block the pipeline," he told his supporters in Port Sudan, the main terminal for all of Sudan's oil exports.
