Why it matters
South Sudan relies heavily on oil for government revenue, and its crude exports depend on infrastructure running through Sudan to the Red Sea. The attacks involve the pipeline infrastructure passing through Sudan, which is the primary export route for South Sudanese oil.
The Ministry of Petroleum oversees the oil sector and revenue in South Sudan, which is affected by export route disruptions caused by the conflict in Sudan.
