Sudan and South Sudan have started withdrawing troops from along their border, a first step in creating a demilitarised buffer zone.

It is part of an agreement the two countries signed last week to resume oil production.

South Sudan halted exports 14 months ago over a dispute on fees.

Previously, 350,000 barrels of oil per day travelled through Sudan.

But now South Sudan is preparing to restart production by the beginning of next week.
