Abyei Ruling

I in Southern Sudan, am not impressed with the ruling of the Abyei border dispute between the north and the south of Sudan. Shrinking in the borders of Abyei so that it leaves the oil fields to the north is a daylight robbery of the people of Southern Sudan. This ruling is creating a Palestine-Israel dispute.
