Early this week, the UN confirmed that 14 dead bodies were found at the fighting scene in Abyei.
In a press statement, the AU said that the recent violence occurred in the context of a failure to implement the Kadugli Agreement on security in Abyei.
It called on both parties to withdraw any additional unauthorized armed forces from Abyei and desist from taking any unilateral actions, concerning either security in Abyei or the political future of Abyei Area.
