RSF collecting transit fees as Heglig oil output hits 26,000 bpd
Original: RSF extracts transit fees as Heglig oil output reaches 26,000 bpd
Sudan's Rapid Support Forces is reportedly extracting transit fees from oil flowing through Heglig, where production has reached 26,000 barrels per day. The development highlights how the paramilitary group is monetising control of key oil infrastructure during the country's civil war, raising questions about the future of Sudan's oil revenues, which are vital to both the state budget and exports via South Sudan's pipeline network.
Why now: The RSF's control of oil infrastructure and revenue extraction is a significant escalation in Sudan's war with direct economic and regional implications.
