So this is pretty effing awesome, if it succeeds in stopping the fighting along the border. Next they’re going to be talking about oil, though - and seriously no clue on how that’s going to go.

I mean, 98% of the South Sudanese government budget comes from oil, and those same South Sudanese oil revenues used to make up over a third of the Sudanese government budget, so this is a really high-stakes negotiation for both governments.
