On 27 September, Kiir met Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and signed eight agreements in [[Addis Ababa]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://theglobalobservatory.org/2012/10/negotiating-peace-in-the-sudans-the-addis-ababa-cooperation-agreement/|title=Negotiating Peace in the Sudans: The Addis Ababa Agreement|last=Affa'a-Mindzie|first=Mireille|date=9 October 2012|website=IPI Global Observatory|language=en-US|access-date=31 January 2019}}</ref> Ethiopia, which led the way to resume important oil exports and create a {{convert|6|mi|km|0|order=flip|adj=on}} demilitarised zone along their border. The agreements allow for the return of {{convert|350,000|oilbbl|L|order=flip|abbr=off}} of South Sudanese oil to the world market. In addition, the agreements include an understanding of the parameters to follow in regards to demarcating their border, an economic cooperation agreement and a deal to protect each other's citizens. Certain issues remain unsolved and future talks are scheduled to resolve them. On 25 November 2012, South Sudan launched a formal complaint to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) against Sudan in the wake of aerial bombings carried out by the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) in parts of South Sudan's northern Bahr el Ghazal state, killing at least eight people and injuring an equal number. South Sudan treated the attack as a gross violation of the cooperation agreement the two country's leaders signed in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on 27 September.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://allafrica.com/stories/201211250310.html|title=South Sudan: Juba to File Complaint to UN Security Council Over Khartoum Aggression|publisher=allAfrica.com|date=25 November 2012|access-date=21 January 2014}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
