Hague redefines oil-rich Abyei's boundaries
The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague has redefined the northern and eastern borders of the oil-rich Abyei region in an effort to settle a violent territory dispute between north and south Sudan.



























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.
