Sudan Reopened Border Post Closed Since 2011

The two countries have several times announced plans to allow such crossings, but only permitted the delivery of humanitarian aid to the south, which is mired in a war since December 2013.

Representatives of the government of Khartoum and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement guerrillas agreed in 2005 to establish a beneficial distribution for both of the oil wealth settled in the southern region, but such an agreement entered a period of difficulties, after the independence of South Sudan.

In this line, the separation by which South Sudan was born left the problem of border division totally unresolved, a matter that is still pending and which, for example, in the case of the Abyei locality, is more complex, as it has deposits of hydrocarbon, in the territories under dispute and between the resident communities.
