Sudan to release tankers, sign oil deal with south
Sudan will immediately release loaded oil tankers it had detained in its port, in an effort to end a dispute over oil payments with South Sudan, a Sudanese official said Saturday.    

Landlocked South Sudan began halting oil production last week after accusing Sudan of stealing $815 million worth of the south's oil. Sudan detained the oil tankers loading oil from the south in Port Sudan in response.     

But Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir decided Saturday to "release the vessels detained in Port Sudan as soon as possible," said Sayed al-Khatib, a spokesman for Sudan's negotiation team.        

Al-Khatib also said al-Bashir is ready to sign an agreement with South Sudan's president Salva Kiir "by the end of today".
