Chapter 47 Oil in South Sudan
Fu Xin sent away a customer who needed a horizontal milling machine, and then, an old black man came over.
"Mr. Fu Xin, I am from South Sudan, my name is Murensr, and I am Abdo. Moroza introduced me. I have a question for you, can I? Murensil walked up to Fu Xin and asked politely to Fu Xin.
"Absolutely." The customer is God, this concept has long been deeply rooted in the heart of Fu Xin, a person who has the memory of the future world, in addition, Fu Xin is not a racist, this world, except for the great powers that have invaded China, there is no hatred at all. He looks at all people equally.
"The products you just introduced to my friends are mainly fertilizer equipment. Our agriculture in South Sudan is underdeveloped, and there is not much need for fertilizer equipment. Our local production is oil, and I would like to ask if you can provide a ...... for our oil resources. Solution? Abdo, Moroza told me that you are a great scientist and you will definitely be able to give a solution. Murensel said with a blazing eye.
"Oil?" Fu Xin's eyes widened and a dazzling light was released!
Fu Xin shouted again in his heart, "Of course you can, why not, this is oil, what is oil, oil is energy!" In the future world, many countries will fight for this! Don't say far, let's just say that the largest online novel website, starting point Chinese network, Shitori Village's "Super Energy Power", is properly into the boutique. You must know that the update of this book is also very weak! ”
"Yes, we just found oil there, but we can't get our oil out there, we can't turn it into wealth. We have a lot of oil, but we are the poorest part of the world. Murensl said sadly.
"The poorest area? You wait" Fu Xin seemed to remember something, scratching his head, Fu Xin thought about it, frowned and asked: "I remember, South Sudan, aren't you at war?" ”
Fu Xin didn't know much about South Sudan. In his memory. Every time I hear this place name, it's always associated with war. Of course, this refers to his memories in the afterlife, in those days. South Sudan for the Chinese. It's a completely foreign concept.
The so-called South Sudan. Refers to the 10 states in southern Sudan.
South Sudan is a landlocked country located in northeastern Africa, between the 4th and 10th parallels. It is bordered by Ethiopia to the east. It is bordered by Kenya, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south, the Central African Republic to the west and Sudan to the north.
THE TERRAIN IS TROUGH-SHAPED, WITH MANY HILLY AND MOUNTAINOUS AREAS IN THE EASTERN, SOUTHERN AND WESTERN BORDER AREAS, CLAY PLAINS IN THE MIDDLE, AND THE KINYETI MOUNTAIN ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER IS 3,187 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL, WHICH IS THE HIGHEST PEAK IN THE COUNTRY. The savannah climate is the rainy season from May to October every year, with a temperature of 20-40 °C, and the dry season from November to April with a temperature of 30-50 °C.
South Sudan covers an area of about 640,000 square kilometers and has a population of about 10.6 million (2012), accounting for 1/4 and 1/5 of the area and population of the former Republic of Sudan respectively.
For a long time, there have been considerable ethnic, religious, cultural and political differences between the north and the south of Sudan.
This area has been inhabited by blacks since ancient times, and there are Nur and Dinka ethnic groups, most of whom believe in ancient fetishism, and a few who believe in Christianity. This is not the case in Northern Sudan, where the Nubians of the north were ruled by Egypt for a long time, and the region eventually became home to Arabs and Sunni Muslims who migrated from the Middle East.
Since the time of ancient Egypt in 1821, the Nuer and Dinka people of South Sudan have often clashed with the north. It was not until the 13th century that the north and the south of Sudan were united for the first time, and in 1821 they were incorporated into the territory of the same country, both times by the invading Egyptian army.
In January 1899, the whole of Sudan became a British-Egyptian condominium. After World War II, the Sudan also began to rise in the independence movement, the Arabs in the north wanted to make the south and the north a unified sultanate, while the blacks in the south believed that the unification of the Sudan was imposed by foreign countries, and according to the principle of national self-determination, the south had the right to become an independent state on an equal footing with the north.
In December 1955, under the organization of the "South Sudan Liberation Movement", South Sudan launched the so-called "Anyangya Movement" (i.e. Liberation Movement), and the first civil war broke out in South Sudan.
In 1972, the North and South signed the Addis Ababa Agreement, and South Sudan stopped armed struggle in exchange for some autonomy. At the end of the first civil war, which lasted for 17 years, killed at least 500,000 people (only one in five were armed men) and displaced millions.
In the '80s, large oil deposits were discovered in the Abyei region, which is located between North Sudan's South Cordoba province and South Sudan's North Bahr el Ghazal province, and is mostly inhabited by black Dinka people. The discovery of oil resources has brought the two sides to a fever pitch.
In 1983, Sudanese President Nimeri (Jaafar_Nimeiry) announced the implementation of Sharia law throughout the country, causing discontent in the south, and the southern rebel army "Sudan People's Liberation Army" (SPLA) began to confront the government, and the second Sudanese civil war broke out. Of course, what is said above is official.
Historically, this part of South Sudan was once an important agricultural region in Africa, with abundant water and grass and fertile land.
Since the middle of this century, the climate has gradually dried out due to the degradation of pastures due to overgrazing, and agriculture has also declined, and the economy is on the verge of collapse. Now, oil has been discovered in South Sudan, but it has not given hope to the people of South Sudan, but has further affected the troubled country.
After the discovery of oil, many tribes tried to bring oil-producing areas into their spheres of influence, and when government and legal solutions were unsuccessful, tribes began to fight each other. In addition to tribal strife, the government coveted the black gold, which led to sharp tensions with local separatist forces, which eventually led to years of civil war.
If Fu Xin remembers correctly, South Sudan established the "Sudan People's Liberation Movement" and the "Sudan People's Liberation Army", and under the leadership of Colonel Garang and other former government troops, they fought a bloody war with the Sudanese government for 11 years. The civil war was the deadliest civilian war since World War II, with 11 years of fighting killing 1.9 million civilians and displacing 4 million.
South Sudan has a population of more than 10 million people, but nearly 40 percent of the population needs food aid to survive.
The majority of the population lives on less than $1 a year, and more than 10 per cent of children do not make it past their fifth birthday. Three-quarters of adults are illiterate, and only 1 per cent of households have a bank account.
In addition, South Sudan not only still has the fear of war with northern Sudan, but also faces internal confrontation between different political forces. South Sudan's government is controlled by the Dinka ethnic group, the largest tribe in the country, but the south has not yet been formally stated, and seven rebel armed forces have threatened to overthrow the government.
South Sudanese government spokesman Mayak said: "It's just tribal fighting. He noted that these tribal clashes do not affect the country's stability, but many fear that after South Sudan formally becomes independent, the Dinka will be locked in bitter fighting with their archrivals, the Nuer.
Even within the Dinka government army, there are many problems. Government forces often take sides in local land disputes, and some soldiers have even begun to hijack United Nations trucks carrying food.
Security on the ground has become so much that the South Sudanese government must spend $700 million on security-related matters, which is more than the government's total budget for education, medicine, electricity, industry, and infrastructure.
However, South Sudan is also a region rich in resources, producing 375,000 barrels of oil per day.
Fu Xin's knowledge told him that because of the impact of the war, South Sudan lacks oil refining facilities and pipelines to transport oil abroad, while the north, which controls the oil industry chain, has no oil, so the north and the south must work together to benefit from oil resources to achieve a win-win situation.
Murensir was the Minister of Industry of a large local tribe called Nusby, a large tribe attached to the Dinka tribe, in which oil had been discovered but could not be sold. The tribal leader told him to take a walk around Frankfurt to see if he could buy a set of oil refining equipment, after all, it was much easier to sell refined oil than crude oil.
with the people of Mozambique. Common. and the kingdom of Abdo. Like Moroza, Murensl also touched the dust of his nose at the exhibition. His tribe produces only hundreds of thousands of tons of oil a year, and it is not at all in the eyes of Western equipment manufacturers. Coupled with the fact that Murensel simply has no cash in his hands, who would dare to provide equipment easily in such a conflict-ridden area!
Just when Murensr was in despair, Abdo. Moroza duly appeared in front of him, Abdo. Moroza was a classmate of Mulensl's classmates when he was studying in Spain, when he was studying at the Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona and Abdo at the Polytechnic University of Madrid.
The relationship between the people in these two places is basically not very good, the reason is because Madrid is the territory of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, Barcelona is the territory of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Barcelona are mortal enemies, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are also mortal enemies, the relationship between fans is naturally not very good, people in the two regions are basically fans, and it may be difficult to understand the European fanatical pursuit of football in football deserts such as China.
In addition, the Catalan autonomous region where Barcelona is located has always wanted to break away from Spanish rule, and Madrid is the capital of Spain, which has also made the people of the two regions hostile!
Madrid and Catalonia are hostile, but Abdo. Moroza and Mulensl are not hateful, the two of them met in the Spanish national derby, that is, the football match between Real Madrid and Barcelona!
The two see each other like each other, they are the same race, they have the same national conditions (the war in Mozambique has not yet subsided, they are also in the war), they have the same pursuit, both want their motherland to be peaceful and independent, and the people live and work in peace and contentment!
