Though South Sudan President Salva Kiir is the Chairman of the EAC, his country owed $8.6 million. They do that months later, as Burundi and South Sudan did. As early as next week, both ports can hold a fireside sale of DRC, South Sudan and Burundi goods that haven’t been collected for 90 days. Last week, South Sudan said exports would resume within a fortnight. The EAC could get a cut there too; for every 25 barrels South Sudan exports, it could allocate one to pay its Community dues.
