The central Sudan seems to have enormous oil fields; up till now the only way to get the oil out was to truck it, and that was impossible during the rainy season. There is the threat of sabotage from the southern Sudanese, but it sounds as if the country is mobilizing to protect the pipeline. Access from the south is somewhat blocked anyway by that enormous swamp, the Sudd. The big oil companies have stayed out because of United States sanctions. But the US always becomes less sanction-monious at the prospect of cheap oil imports.
