Heglig &
Proof, Pipes
At
20% Capacity

UNITED
NATIONS,
August 7 --
Even just
after a rare
agreement
between Sudan
and South
Sudan, on oil
transfer fees,
at the UN in
New York there
were clouds on
the horizon,
how ever
small.
Inner
City Press
asked UN envoy
Haile
Menkerios
about the
deal. He was
pleased, but
noted that
there is still
the question
of the Heglig
needing to be
fixed. Most of
South Sudan's
oil is in
Unity State
and
has to travel
north through
the pipeline
at Heglig
which, he
said, is
only
operations at
twenty percent
capacity.
Moments
later
Inner City
Press asked
South Sudan's
ambassador
Francis
Nazario. He
said that
Sudan has to
repair Heglig.
He said that
while
Sudan claims
the damage was
done during
South Sudan's
occupation,
"they have to
prove that."
A
Security
Council Deputy
Permanent
Representative
told Inner
City
Press there
are still
things to be
worked out.
Sudan's
Permanent
Representative
seems sure to
come for the
Security
Council
session about
the Sudans and
Abyei on
August 9.
South Sudan
will be
sending a
foreign
minister.
