South Sudan can import oil equipment from US: OFAC

December 9, 2011 (WASHINGTON) – The United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced on Thursday that it will allow exports of oil equipment to South Sudan without special permission.

OFAC-2.jpgOFAC said it is “issuing two general licenses that authorize all activities and transactions relating to the petroleum and petrochemical industries in the Republic of South Sudan and related financial transactions and the transshipment of goods, technology, and services through Sudan to or from the Republic of South Sudan and related financial transactions”.

South Sudan became an independent state last July and U.S. officials have promised that the new state would quickly be exempted from the comprehensive sanctions imposed on Sudan since 1997.

Based on the new rules U.S. companies can also export equipments through Sudan as long as South Sudan is the final destination.

But OFAC cautioned that U.S. companies remain barred from participating in refining Southern Sudanese crude oil in refineries located in Sudan.

Last September, the U.S. special envoy to Sudan Princeton Lyman said that lifting all sanctions on South Sudan will take time because it needs congressional approval.

North Sudan lost 75 percent of the country’s oil production of 500,000 barrels per day after South Sudan gained independence. The impact of the loss is being felt in the country through a chronic shortage in hard currency and tightened government spending.

Sudan has been hoping that transit fees for oil produced in landlocked South Sudan could provide a reliable source of revenue.

But the two sides have failed to agree on the fees to be assessed for using the pipelines in the North.

China, which has the largest stake in Sudan’s oil, dispatched its envoy in a bid to bridge differences between the two ex-foes on this issue.

    Mahammed Ali, Sam Eto’o and Jalaby must see how quick they are failing the politics, otherwise they should not talk of Blocking South Sudan oil pipeline. South Sudan must tranship oil by all mean because we have lot of possibilities to carry out that and also, Sudan is going to face South Sudan militarily otherwise Bashir should submit his resignation of War as early as possible. Khartoum must go.

    That’s good news, our friends and neighbours are not forgetting us even if we’re pushed to the corner. The bad thing is people of Sudan will suffer a consequences of one man and that’s Bashir. We want Bashir out of the power for the majorities to survive in Sudan.

    SOUTH SUDAN AND THE US WILL STILL HAVE TO PAY TRANSIT FEES AND COSTS.

    YOUR OIL will run out by 2015-2020. Lets see how much help the US is going to be to you. They’re not going to magically bring oil from dry wells.

    Sudan is going to face South Sudan militarily – YOU CANT YOU INCOMPETENT GUERRILLA REBELS. HALF YOUR ARMY IS INFECTED WITH HIV/AIDS.

    WAKE UP CALL for brainwashed, blind SPLA/M supporters. S.Sudan is no match against Sudan in conventional warfare. A school boy can tell you that. STOP DREAMING AND BEING DELUSIONAL. ALL you & the Americans can do is pay a few mercenaries like the SPLM-N and darfur rebels to fight for you.

    There is nothing called South Sudan Army right now, because SPLA is not an army of RoSS but just a militia of SPLM! Any army that affiliates to the party is simply a militia, full stop! Once we create a professional army of the Great Democratic Republic of New Sudan (DRoNS) to be (once we topple the SPLA/M regime), you will not be told by nobody but you will figure out the differences…

    You’re right, SPLA-N is no match militarily for SAF, but funny enough that’s how the SPLA rebels freed the South, although at a very high cost of lives destroyed.

    However SAF is no match morally for the SPLA-N as they fight for freedom, honour and dignity, while SAF fights to keep the NCP mafia in power. Victory will be ours eventually.

    They didnt free the South – It was given to them. Until the CPA ALL major cities in South Sudan were under the control of SAF. SPLA was in the jungle, Uganda and Kenya. Torriet was a painful defeat. SPLA or SPLA-N do not fight for freedom or anything. They are mercenaries paid by the west to destabilize Sudan. All these wars are for Israels sake.

    When the SPLA in South Sudan is a true army and represents South Sudan and not some corrupt minority or one tribe hellbent on controlling the South and pouring its hatred on the North. MAYBE then there might be peace in the South. But Sudan has no grief with the South. Its the Satan worshipers (Like Logic) pushing you ignorant naive folk to dooms day. Go look after your people and feed them.

    Sudan was capable of defeating SPLA/M , why they did sign the CPA? Why they agreed to give South Sudan the 1st Vice president in the Country? and why they did not govern any of South Sudan states during the period of 6 years of the CPA?
    the reality that you have seen yourself.SPLA/M in fact has defeated SAF in Eastern Sudan, Nuba Mountain, Blue Nile and countless victories since 1983.

    Please don’t worry of where South Sudan will get money to spent on every single thing you mention, you should be worry that, you’re not going to be getting oil transit fees that you wish to depend on! N. Sudan is not the customer that buys oil in the South, China is the one. It’s none of your business that the SPLA/M wasting money, it’s their money, they can spend it on anything they want.

    CPA was signed when SPLA/M was in the verge of defeat by Sudan! It was meant to rescue southern Sudanese masses from imminent extinction by then! Now, let us give SPLA a chance to provge that it can defeat SAF and take RoSS in the battle field in the forthcoming war so that no one will dispute this claim by SPLA/M militia again!

    Mutually hurting stalemate is the key word. It is a situation where the conflicting parties realize the war cannot be won militarily, and therefore, both are mutually hurting by the costs of remaining in war. In the case of Khartoum, it was eager to relocate its forces to the other emerging fronts in the West and East, which is why concessions were made and CPA signed. Be enlightened!

    Message to the 13 covetous thieves:

    If you do not repent and return the stolen millions “YOU WILL BURN IN HELL FOR ETERNITY”.For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?(Mark 8:36) if they choose not to repent, have no fellowship with them because they are of their Father the Devil. The Bible assigns ’13’ rebellion against God.
