Abyei, a disputed area on the border between Sudan and South Sudan, is located in the White Nile River basin, covers an area of approximately 10,000 square kilometers, is rich in oil resources, and is the focus of a long-standing dispute between the two countries. 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) designated it as a special administrative area under the supervision of the Joint Integrated Unit (JIU), but in 2011 the issue of belonging to it after the independence of South Sudan was left unresolved. The economy of the area, which is predominantly populated by Dinka and Misseriya Arabs, is dependent on the oil industry, but has lagged behind as a result of the conflict. Despite numerous good offices efforts by the international community, the status of Abyei remains unresolved, and its peace and stability are critical to the relationship between the two countries.
