Mitigating the pollution in the East African, northern, crude-producing regions has been made a top priority and an audit is underway to locate contaminated areas and find ways to clean it up, according to petroleum and mining minister Awow Daniel Chuang. “Regulations will be used to save the environment; the policy will be for zero discharge,” he said in Juba this month.

Company failures to enclose production sites is also a threat, said Abraham Ngor, a former state official in the Ruweng region. “The government has issued precautionary warnings to people to avoid living near these areas.”

Promises, promises. The truth about oil in South Sudan: production is tending downwards - now only 166,000 barrels a day - and pollution and suffering are on the rise! BlackTide and BlackSkies of water and air pollution sweeping over the country. Bravo China National Petroleum
