Update on Abyei (24 September 2014)
Highlighting developments since May 2014, including GoS plans to include the territory in the 2015 elections. There is still no local administration or police force in Abyei, and the Abyei Joint Oversight Committee has not met since Kuol Deng Kuol’s assassination.

The Safe Demilitarized Border Zone (24 September 2014)
After withdrawing from the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mission in November 2012, the GRSS announced in May 2014 that it would rejoin. While aerial reconnaissance recommenced on 16 June, the mission has not found any troops in the SDBZ and aerial patrols are unable, in fact, to determine if the SDBZ is militarized. The JBVMM bases are still not built. The UNISFA protection force has still not deployed.
