Sudan’s state-run news agency says the Sudanese President Omar Bashir has ordered revisions to the economic agreements struck with South Sudan in a positive gesture to the breakaway southern state. SUNA said that the changes come after a visit by South Sudan’s foreign Minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin in January when he requested a reduction in the fees Khartoum charges for processing and transporting oil from South Sudan to its northern neighbor.
