Sudan 'could give up' southern oil
[Al Jazeera] Sudan's president has said that his Khartoum-based government is ready to give up its share of the revenues from oil reserves from the south, if the region votes against independence.
Here in Cincinnati we have the original of the Brooklyn Bridge. I own the title a tenth share of the title controlling interest in a tenth share of the title. You do believe me, right?
Omar al-Bashir said that the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement, which ended the civil war between the north and the south and set the date for the referendum on secession, had divided the oil wealth in order to "to encourage our brothers in Southern Sudan to vote for unity".

However,
The infamous However...
 in an address to a delegation of AU's Peace and Security Council in Khartoum on Thursday, Bashir said that the northern government was now willing to give up its share of the revenues to ensure the country remains undivided.

"We say if they choose unity, we are ready for the national government to give up its full share in the oil of the South to the government of the south," he said.

Bashir made the remarks just a day after one of his senior aides acknowledged that the south would likely vote to secede in the January 9 referendum after the "failure" of policies aimed at keeping Africa's largest nation united.
