(CNN) — The president of Sudan has ordered the shutdown of an oil pipeline running from South Sudan, his country’s state-run Sudan News Agency reported late Saturday.
The closure ordered by President Omar al-Bashir goes into effect Sunday, SUNA reports.
Following a popular referendum, South Sudan gained its independence from Sudan in 2011. But the two countries have remained at odds over a number of issues, including defining their borders and oil exports.
