south sudan–sudan relations
israeli businessman meir greiver founded the south sudan development company ltd. with the intent of setting up business opportunities for israelis in south sudan. he said that "the sky is the limit to the money-making potential of the world's youngest country." he also said that "very simply put, the country is open and ready to be built from the ground up. the [ruling] north never invested in the south, didn't develop it and now there's a great deal to do there." he cited such reasons as "years of official neglect of south sudan's infrastructure by the ruling north has left the new country with a desperate need for infrastructure, roads, airport, hospitals, electrical infrastructure and more. the united states, europe, and the world bank are planning on funneling very large amounts of money to the development of south sudan, and the country has large amount of oil and natural resources of its own that are waiting to be utilised and which will help the country move forward. there will be many different sources of money, from the world bank, the european union, the united states, and elsewhere flowing into south sudan and the potential to make money in many different fields is enormous. they have gold, uranium; some also say there is some aluminum. it is absolutely a place where things can be done. also, because the salaries are so very low, i think that many israeli businessmen who send their manufacturing and textile work to china could do it there instead, that's one example." he called on israeli companies to hasten the move to south sudan "before the chinese, europeans and others get in and take these opportunities."
