Sudan, South Sudan to reopen borders after 11 years

Over the weekend, Sudan and South Sudan engaged in extensive talks and candid discussion on all aspects and fields of cooperation that saw the two countries agree to open their borders after 11 years. The official launch will take place on October 1, 2021 by the two parties. The borders were closed in 2011 when relations deteriorated after the south seceded following a long civil war, taking with it three-quarters of the country’s oil and hitting traders and communities on both sides of the disputed line.
