Attacks on Oil Pipelines Carrying South Sudanese Crude
What happened
The Sudan Founding Alliance claimed that attacks on oil pipelines carrying South Sudanese oil have been occurring since September 11, 2026. The Alliance stated that these attacks took place north of Al Hamadi in South Kordofan. The Alliance claimed that they were attacked by the army while attempting to protect engineers working on the pipeline.

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.
