Sudanese oil for Ethiopia

The Sudanese government has decided to provide Ethiopia with oil through land containers as a first phase after which oil will be transport to Ethiopia from Sudan through pipelines.

The Ethiopian charge d'affairs in Khartoum Abdul Bashri said in a statement issued in al-Khartoum on Saturday that exporting the Sudanese oil for his country, a matter which will be agreed upon between the Sudanese government and the Ethiopian companies working in the area of oil, will start within the few coming days.

On the other hand, Bishri said that some 2,000 Ethiopians staying in Sudan will shortly return back to Ethiopia according to the voluntary return back program.
