is $20-25 per barrel of oil transported, paid to Khartoum in oil pipeline fees, according to some back of an envelope calculations by Greg Snyders (or 30% of the value of Southern oil). Given that the North presently gets 50% of Southern oil, about half of that again would seem like a reasonable and easy to understand number to go for.
I have very little new to say about Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile. I continue to be an optimist about the prospect for peace between the North and the South, but just despair for those unfortunate enough to have opposed Bashir in the North. A no-fly zone seems to be totally off the table, which I think is a shame.
