{{The failure by both Sudan and South Sudan to resolve their outstanding post-session issues, including the fate of the contested oil-producing Abyei region, could lead the two countries to another war, a senior member of the south-ruling party (SPLM) said Saturday.}}
“We are faced with deliberate aggression by the government of Sudan. The behaviour of the Sudanese armed forces whose actions are commanded by individuals in the national congress party, under watchful leadership of president Bashir undermines hope to promote peaceful dialogue,” Aleu Ayeny Aleu said.
Aleu, also a member of the national legislative assembly, said recent military activities at the border areas and Abyei were clear warning of obstacles and threats to realisation of the desire to establish two viable states.
The young nation, on Friday, objected to the formation of a humanitarian commission for the disputed region of Abyei, describing it “a unilateral decision” by the government of Sudan, with which it contests ownership of the oil-producing area.
Luka Biong Deng, South Sudan’s co-chair of the Abyei Joint Oversight Committee (AJOC) accused Sudan of attempting to unilaterally establish “their own Abyei Commission for Humanitarian Affairs”.
