Khartoum official says Abyei belongs to Sudan

KHARTOUM (4 Jan.)

Sudan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Ibrahim Ghandour said that the disputed
territory of Abyei between the two countries belongs to Sudan."Abyei is a
Sudanese territory and the issue is resolved by the decisions of the
Permanent Court of Arbitration and the African Union," Ghandour said in
statements to the press at the National Assembly in Omdurman.

He pointed out that the 2005 peace agreement provides that the contested
territory remains part of the north until the organization of a referendum
determines its future.

Ghandour was reacting to statements made by his southern counterpart Deng
Alor who was in Khartoum. During his visit to Khartoum city last week, Deng
Alor who hails from Abyei told Al-Jareeda newspaper that Abyei belongs to
South Sudan.
