They ended with a relaxed stroll in the garden and they extend to the media comment that the word get from either the two men was shouted ‘terrific’ when President Obama was asked how it was going. I will get a briefing which we haven’t had yet on the details. But I don’t think that anybody expected a new accord, a new firm agreement or anything that may be advances in certain areas but I think it was about establishing the basis for a new relationship that may end up with a sort of agreements in the end.

State radio said President al-Bashar would from Sunday completely close the pipeline⁹. Oil only started flowing again from South Sudan a few weeks ago after the two countries agreed to withdraw troops from their troubled border area. Both countries suffered terribly during the stoppage which lasted more than a year. Ninety-eight percent of South Sudan’s revenues come from oil. Sudan’s economy also shrank. The two neighbours haven’t got on since South Sudan became independent two years ago at times coming close to all-out war.

The loss of the Qusair corridor is a major blow to the rebels, depriving them of an important supply route from the Lebanese border to opposition¹⁰ forces in central Syria. Its recapture is part of a broad government campaign to cut supply routes from all directions and drive the rebels back from the outskirts¹¹ of Damascus where just a few months ago they seemed poised¹² to a final push on the city’s center and the seat of the regime’s power. That now seems a distant prospect¹³.
