Foreign Secretary statement on military attacks in Sudan
May 22, 2011
Speaking earlier today the Foreign Secretary, William Hague, said:
"I condemn recent military actions in and around Abyei, including the
attack on Abyei town by the Sudanese Armed Forces on 21 May and the
attack on a joint Sudanese Armed Forces and UN convoy on 19 May. These
incidents are clear violations of the CPA and cannot be justified.
I call on all sides to cease hostilities immediately. All unauthorised
forces should be withdrawn from the entire area of Abyei in accordance
with past agreements by the parties. I remind the parties of their
responsibility to protect civilians.
I urge the parties to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement to respect
their commitments under it, and to make use of the good offices of
President Mbeki’s AU High-Level Implementation Panel to negotiate a
peaceful and durable resolution of all outstanding issues, including
the implementation of the Abyei Protocol which forms part of the
Comprehensive Peace Agreement."
