All, looks like maintenance workers are getting a few hours of overtime again. News Article by DPA on January 16, 2000 at 16:27:17: Sudanese insurgents blow up oil pipeline Khartoum (dpa) - A group opposed to the Sudanese government blew up a section of an oil pipeline in eastern Sudan on Sunday morning, the minister of state at the ministry of culture and information, Amin Hassan Omar, announced in Khartoum. In a statement broadcast Sunday evening on Sudan television, the minister said insurgents of the Beja Congress destroyed the oil exporting pipeline near the town of Sinkat. The statement said the minister of energy and mining paid a visit to the site of the incident. It said a team of engineers had contained the damage done to the pipeline. A source at the ministry was quoted by the television as saying that the damage would not affect the export of oil. ú The Sudanese oil pipeline stretching from the oilfields in southern Sudan to Port Bashair on the Red Sea has been subjected to three attacks ever since it became operational last August. ú The Beja, a non-Arab people who inhabit districts bordering on Eritrea and Ethiopia, like the southern Sudanese, have been complaining of being deprived by what they call the Arab-dominated government in Khartoum. Observers said that if the attack was actually carried out by the Beja Congress it was a signal to the Sudanese government that even with the improvement of relations between Sudan and Eritrea and Ethiopia they were still capable of operating against the government within Sudan. They once had bases in Eritrea, but Eritrea will no longer allow them to operate from its territory. eom Ed
