🇸🇸Sudanese Independence With a Twist Although South Sudan gained independence from its northern neightbor of today in 2011, the civil war in Sudan now threatens its entire economy 🌐 South Sudan's Ministry of Petroleum announced the full resumption of oil exports after drones struck oil facilities in Heglig and Al-Jabalain in Sudan in late October and mid-November. . ⏩ South Sudan is landlocked and relies on pipelines, refineries, and the Bashayer terminal in Sudan to ship about 150,000 barrels per day under normal conditions. South Sudan's oil industry accounts for 90% of government revenue. 🔸The country's export problems began in 2024, when it fell from about 186,000 barrels per day to about 58,000 as military damage and attacks reduced pipeline capacity.

While South Sudan is trying to sit on the sidelines and maintain neutrality, the military-political confrontation in the north is directly affecting its economy. Devils Below
