S.Sudan says to release oilfield if UN intervenes

NAIROBI (Reuters) – South Sudan said on Friday it could withdraw its troops from the Heglig oilfield,

which it seized on Tuesday over its border dispute with Sudan, if the United Nations deployed neutral forces in the

area.

“Such withdrawal would happen if the United Nations could commit to deploying neutral

forces to Heglig which could be present in the area until a settlement between the two parties is reached,” a presidential

statement released at the South Sudan embassy in Nairobi said.
