South Sudan says blockade on Red Sea disrupts oil export

Juba, Feb 27 (UNI) The South Sudanese government stated on Tuesday that it is struggling to export crude oil to international markets due to a blockade imposed on the Red Sea by Houthi militants, who have been attacking cargo ships since January.
Minister of Information, Communication, Technology, and Postal Services Michael Makuei Lueth said that cargo ships carrying crude oil shipments from Port Sudan are wary of the insecurity on the Red Sea, despite the current reduction in oil production levels in the northern oil fields due to flooding and the jelling within stations 4 and 5 of the oil pipeline.
"The war in the sisterly neighbor, Sudan, has greatly impacted on the economic situation in South Sudan, which relies mainly on oil production. The oil wells that were water-logged by heavy floods over the past rainy seasons are still unrecovered, and the oil sector has not been able to increase production. Now, the pipeline taking crude to Port Sudan has experienced a jelling process in stations 4 and 5, making it difficult for the crude oil to reach the export market," Makuei said during a press conference held in Juba, the capital of South Sudan.
