The US special representative to Sudan called upon the authorities in north and south Sudan to ensure that the people of Abyei have their right and needs met in accordance of the Abyei protocol.

Addressing the press Saturday, Scott Gration emphasized that the popular consultations in Blue Nile and southern Kordofan should be recognised and ensure that they take place.
He reiterated his country’s commitment to NCP and SPLM, and revealed that president Obama is briefed every day on the happenings in south Sudan

A referendum on whether Abyei should remain part of the north or join the south had been scheduled to take place in parallel with the vote in the south, but it has been delayed.
