CAIRO — Sudan has again threatened to block crude oil exports by
neighboring South Sudan.

Sudanese President Omar Bashir said he was prepared to shut the oil
export pipeline from South Sudan.

Bashir said South Sudan, despite a series of agreements, continued to aid rebels in Sudan’s Darfour and South Kordofan.

“We will completely close the pipeline,” Bashir said on May 27.
