The leaders of the Misseriya have delivered a petition to the Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir, the South Sudanese president Salva Kiir Mayardit, the African Union and the United Nations demanding the cancellation of a unilateral referendum held by the Ngok Dinka in the contested area. All agreements signed on Abyei with the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) should be repealed, according to the Misseriya leaders. The leaders have given an ultimatum of 72 hours to the bodies mentioned to meet their demands. In a press conference at the Federal Government Chamber in Khartoum, the Nazir of the Misseriya, El Amin Osman Harika, stated that what is taking place in the Abyei region is a gross violation of laws. “The Ngok Dinka want to drag the neighbouring communities to the battle field. The Misseriya are ready for it!“ he said. “Either we live a decent live or we will be buried in Abyei land” Harika added.
