Abyei (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Abyei Area is an area of 10,460 square kilometres (2,580,000 acres) (4,039 sq mi) in Sudan accorded "special administrative status" by the 2004 Protocol on the resolution of the Abyei conflict (Abyei Protocol) in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) that ended the Second Sudanese Civil War. The capitol of Abyei Area is Abyei Town. Considered a historical bridge between northern and Southern Sudan, the territory had previously been considered part of the larger District of Abyei within the now-abolished state of West Kurdufan. Under the terms of the Abyei Protocol, the Abyei area has been declared, on an interim basis, to be simultaneously part of the states of South Kurdufan and Northern Bahr el Ghazal.
