He added, in a statement to Sputnik, today, Thursday: “The cessation of the export of South Sudanese oil through Sudanese territory will have a major impact on Juba’s economy, because it represents between 60 and 70 percent of the size of its general budget.” He continued: “The situation that Juba is experiencing is similar to the situation of the State of Sudan before the secession of the South, when oil was the source on which Sudan mainly relied, and therefore the impact is very great on the State of the South, which does not possess other resources at the present time, and did not seek during the past period to diversify its sources.” Al-Nayer pointed out that “Sudan’s announcement of its inability to protect the process of exporting South Sudanese oil through Sudanese territory constituted a major shock to the South Sudanese economy, because it depends on oil to a very large extent, and therefore the state of South Sudan must think about finding a solution to this.” Regarding the alternatives available to Juba to get out of this crisis, the economic expert says: “Juba has no alternative options now to export oil, and the most appropriate option is to export through Sudanese territory, so we hope that the Sudanese war will end soon. And that oil exports will flow through Sudanese territory, considering It is the currently available option to have pipelines extending to the Red Sea coast, and any other option that South Sudan is considering now will be very expensive and require a lot of time.” Sudanese economic expert Muhammad Al-Nayer explained: “South Sudan cannot today establish alternative pipelines with neighboring countries or Other countries export their oil because it is expensive and takes a lot of time. They also cannot transport it by truck because the cost would be very high and economically unfeasible. Therefore, they have no choice but to deal with this matter mainly for Sudan, as Khartoum also benefits from exporting southern oil because It charges transit, transportation, and processing service fees.” He added: "But this money does not constitute a large percentage of the Sudanese economy. Rather, it is a percentage that was not effective. If it exists, it could improve the level of the exchange rate and help save some money in relation to the state's general budget revenues." Al-Nair pointed out that “stopping the export of Juba oil will have a major impact on the economy of South Sudan and not on the Sudanese economy, given that what it receives is a percentage that does not affect the overall Sudanese economy, but it may have an impact on the exchange rate, because the Sudanese economy today is not affected by anything other than war.” Last Tuesday, the Sudanese government announced the cessation of the export of oil from South Sudan through Sudanese territory due to a malfunction in the transport lines. Since last April 15, violent and widespread clashes have continued between the Sudanese army forces and the Rapid Support Forces in various areas in Sudan, as they are trying to... Both parties control vital headquarters, including the Republican Palace, the headquarters of the General Command of the Armed Forces, the Rapid Support Forces Command, and a number of military and civilian airports.
