JUBA — South Sudan’s renowned academic and former Sudanese minister of cabinet affairs is saying that President Salva Kiir Mayardit is well situated and has a rare opportunity to solve the dispute with neighboring Sudan on Abyei.
This comes a week after armed Arab armed men attacked a village in the Ngok Dinka enclave killing at least twelve people and injured dozens.
“President Salva grew up in the region and knows the strategic importance of Abyei area. He fought the first civil war and witnessed the heroism of Abyei sons including Doldol Nyang during Anyanya warfare,” Biong said on his Facebook profile.
“President Salva oversaw and supported Abyei International Border Arbitration when he designated me as his agent during the international arbitration and he accepted full heartedly the award of the Abyei International Trinunal. President Salva accepted not only the 2012 AU Proposal of the Final Status of Abyei but he personally supported indirectly the 2013 Abyei Community Referendum and its outcome that was supported by the ten states of South Sudan,” he added.
Biong who served in the defunct autonomous Government of Southern Sudan as minister in the office of the president said Kiir had unwavering commitment to resolve the Abyei dispute.
“Working with him as a minister of his office during difficult times of CPA implementation, I have no doubt of the unwavering commitment of President Salva to the cause of Abyei as he is a true son of Abyei,” he said.
He further said President Salva Kiir “has moral and political obligation to officially accept the outcome of the 2013 Abyei Community Referendum and to ask the parliament to do the same and to use such a decision as a basis to engage with Khartoum to either accept the outcome of the 2013 Abyei Referendum or to accept the 2012 AU proposal of the Final Status of Abyei.”
In 2013, a unilateral referendum conducted by the people of Abyei resulted in the voting of the Abyei residents for joining South Sudan.
However, President Salva Kiir’s government and its Sudanese counterpart under Omar al Bashir refused to recognize the Abyei referendum.
Biong further said “President Salva, you have a rare opportunity to leave behind a legacy as a leader who resolved the final status of Abyei and history will not forget your contribution.”

Abyei region will never be part of Northern Sudan for many reasons but let me say this example. 1 Abyei region was transferred to South Kordufan in 1905 without Misserya nomads this is one factor. 2 when the Misserya came from North Africa, they found the people of Abyei in there. 3 If you ask Misserya tribe to define the meaning of Abyei in Arabic perhaps, they will failed because this is a Dinka language and there is no Abyei in their language. 3 the people who owned that lands in centuries are Dinka people and these Misserya nomads have no rights to claim even if the Sudan was not separated. 4 the Misserya nomads are movable from time to time and they have no houses they have built in Abyei region these few mention and many others are the factors. The Sudanese government know very well that, Abyei region was transferred to South Kordufan Region without knowledge from the people of Bahr El Ghazal Regions and it was absolutely illegal deal with chiefdom in Abyei.
Aduol Liet ‘Abyei region was transferred to South Kordufan Region without knowledge from the people of Bahr El Ghazal Regions and it was absolutely illegal deal with chiefdom in Abyei’. Indeed, a great truth of the matter, the Ngok Dinka of Abyei, the then occupants of that contemporary period should have been the ones deciding not the authorities represented by the British Administration Commissioners of Bahr el-Ghazal and Kordofan Provinces. This the right that was restored under the CPA; and both Governments of South Sudan and the Sudan are obliged to safeguard exercising of such a right and abide by its results. The concerned international community/agencies have a moral obligation to ensure implementation of the according resolutions acceptable to the people of Abyei now.
