Kiir-Bashir summit ends without solution on Abyei deadlock

October 22, 2013 (JUBA) – The highly-anticipated summit between South Sudan’s president Salva Kiir and his Sudanese counterpart, Omer Hassan Al-Bashir ended with no viable solution on the fate of the disputed oil-producing Abyei region. The two leaders, officials told Sudan Tribune, mainly explored ways of strengthening relations between them, barely a month after they signed an agreement for the establishment of official entry crossing points on both sides of their borders. Tuesday’s meeting, which took place in the South Sudan capital, Juba also looked into issues of trade and mutual cooperation between the two nations. Prior to the meeting, however, the African Union Peace and Security Council (AUPSC) issued a statement asking the two leaders to use the summit as an opportunity for concrete steps to resolve the final status of the disputed oil-producing region. But a joint communiqué seen by Sudan Tribune said Kiir and his Sudanese counterpart only agreed on general terms for administration and policing of Abyei, to be handled by both parties. The two leaders, it further added, also agreed “to expedite the establishment of Abyei Administration, Council and Police organs, and reaffirm that the 2% share of Abyei Area’s oil revenue, including arrears, will be paid to the Abyei Administration.” Resolving the final status of Abyei still remains a major issue between Sudan and South Sudan after the latter broke away from the former in July 2011, leaving several unresolved post-secession issues.
