 * Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir and South Sudan's President Salva Kiir have reaffirmed their commitment to peace after talks in the southern capital, Juba. The former civil war foes described Tuesday's talks as “historic” but there was no movement on disputes over borders, contested territory, trade and oil.
 * The African Union and United Nations should get Sudan to withdraw its police force from the Diffra oilfields in the disputed region of Abyei, South Sudan's foreign minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin was reported as saying Wednesday. Diffra, north of Abyei, produces 18,000 b/d of crude, compared with Sudan's total oil production of 140,000 b/d.
 * Leaders in South Sudan say the civilian death toll from a weekend attack in a remote part of the country has risen from 41 to 79. South Sudan accuses Khartoum of supporting Yau Yau in order to sabotage plans to build an oil pipeline through Ethiopia to the Port of Djibouti and block plans to explore for oil in Jonglei state.
 * South Sudan's Government is highly corrupt and disorganized.
