Sudan objects to delivery of humanitarian aid to Abyei through Juba Sudan Vision Daily Khartoum, 15/8/2012 – Abyei Humanitarian Affairs Commissioner Umbadi Yahia Kabashi said the number of the affected citizens north of the town of Abyei is 83668; they were counted by the commission. Umbadi added in a special press release to (Sudan Vision) that 2000 citizens have arrived in Abyei from North and South Sudan in the recent days according to the estimates of the United Nations. Umbadi pointed out that the joint meeting of the mechanism in Abyei stressed the right of the citizens to obtain basic human needs; and the Sudanese government is ready to allow all organizations to deliver humanitarian relief according to the law of Humanitarian work and without breaching the sovereignty of Sudan. Umbadi revealed that South Sudan has shown a reserved position regarding the procurement of humanitarian relief through Sudan and asked to allow relief to enter the area through Juba; but Sudan objected to that saying that Abyei is Sudanese and South Sudan has no jurisdiction in it until the referendum decides where it belongs; adding that the next meeting in September will settle all these disputes. Umbadi expressed the willingness of Sudan to coordinate with the other party as stated by the framework agreement signed in Addis Ababa; calling for speedy establishment of the Abyei Administration and its legislature.
