    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS/REBecca BLacKWELL The Two Sudans A Tour of the Neighborhood Omer Ismail and Annette LaRocco January 2012 WWW.ENOUGHPROJECT.ORG The Two Sudans A Tour of the Neighborhood Omer Ismail and Annette LaRocco January 2012 Introduction Prior to South Sudan’s independence in July 2011, Sudan was the largest country in Africa. At over one million square miles, Sudan stretched from the Sahara to Central Africa. As a unified country it bordered on nine other states. Today, after separation, the two Sudans share a diverse and critical geopolitical sub-region that links the Sahara, the Sahel, the Horn, and the Great Lakes. While negotiations between Sudan and South Sudan are critical,1 the broader regional context is important as well. The two Sudans do not exist in a vacuum; rather, their post- separation negotiations and bilateral relations will be situated within a regional context. Regional neighbors will impact the ways in which the countries relate to each other as well as the larger complex of geopolitical neighbors. That said, international actors, too, top among them, the United States, the European Union, and China, play a critical role in shaping the political and economic dynamics of the region. These influential inter- national actors must continue to support, both politically and economically, initiatives of regional actors focused on maintaining peace and security between the two Sudans, and beyond, and promoting the development of the region as a whole. In many ways, the two countries are an important fulcrum around which regional political dynam- ics revolve. The Enough Project examines some of the two countries’ most important neighbors and regional relationships.

    United Nations S/2012/175 Security Council Distr.: General 23 March 2012 Original: English Report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Abyei I. Introduction 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to paragraph 13 of Security Council resolution 2032 (2011), in which the Council requested the Secretary-General to continue to inform it of progress in implementing the mandate of the United Nations Interim Security Force in Abyei (UNISFA) at 60-day intervals, and to continue to bring to its attention any serious violations of the Agreement between the Government of the Sudan and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement on Temporary Arrangements for the Administration and Security of the Abyei Area (S/2011/384, annex), signed on 20 June 2011 in Addis Ababa. In the present report, reference is also made to paragraph 5 of Council resolution 2024 (2011), by which the Council requested the Secretary-General to keep it informed of progress in implementing the additional tasks listed in paragraph 1 of the resolution. The report provides an update on the situation in Abyei and on the deployment and operations of UNISFA since the previous report on the matter, of 27 January 2012 (S/2012/68). II. Security situation 2. During the period under review, the security situation remained tense and highly unpredictable owing to the continued presence of unauthorized armed forces in the Abyei Area, in violation of the 20 June 2011 Agreement, the ongoing large- scale migration of Misseriya nomads and the return of displaced Ngok Dinka. 3. As of 6 March 2012, the Sudanese armed forces and police maintained their presence in the area north of the Kiir/Bahr el-Arab River, especially in Abyei town, Goli, Baloom and the Diffra area.

  • The Crisis in Abyei
    The Crisis in Abyei Update as of 10 October 2011 Nearly two months after South Sudan became Africa’s newest state, the political crisis over Abyei remains intractable, with both Sudan and South Sudan publicly claiming the territory as rightfully theirs, and neither side giving any indication that it is willing to compromise. The security situation is in a period of uncertain transition. The implementation of the 20 June Addis Ababa agreement has been slow due to difficult rainy season conditions and disagreement over whether the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) must withdraw before the UN Security Council (UNSC)-authorized brigade of Ethiopian peacekeepers (the UN Interim Security Force for Abyei, or UNISFA) is fully deployed. As of 6 October just under half of the UNISFA force—about 1,800 personnel—has deployed, and most of the peacekeepers will not be in place until late October 2011, after the end of the rainy season. On 8 September in Addis Ababa, at the first meeting of the Abyei Joint Oversight Committee (AJOC)—composed of two members from the government of Sudan (GoS), and two from the Government of South Sudan (GoSS)—both sides committed to a phased withdrawal of troops that would lead to SAF and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) fully withdrawing from Abyei by 30 September. Six days later, the GoS denied making such an agreement, and as of 30 September SAF continue to occupy Abyei. AJOC meetings for 22 and 30 September were postponed. There is still no agreement on the composition of the Abyei Area Administration.

  • Broken Agreement Violations in the Demilitarized Border Zone by Sudan and South Sudan
    Broken Agreement Violations in the Demilitarized Border Zone by Sudan and South Sudan Satellite Sentinel Project Monitoring the Crisis in the Sudans satsentinel.org Broken Agreement Violations in the Demilitarized Border Zone by Sudan and South Sudan May 2013 COVER: DigitalGlobe near imagery of Kiir Adem, South Sudan on March 11, 2013. Satellite Sentinel Project The Satellite Sentinel Project, or SSP, has secured unique independent evidence of the failure of Sudan and South Sudan to meet obligations to withdraw their troops in two potential hot spots along their shared border: Heglig, also known as Panthou,1 and Kiir Adem. DigitalGlobe satellite imagery confirms that as of April 14, 2013, both countries’ armed forces were maintaining defensive installations within the agreed-upon demilita- rized buffer zone along their shared border. To date, neither the joint border-verification mechanism established by both countries, nor the U.N. peacekeeping mission tasked with monitoring the demilitarized buffer zone has detected these violations.2 Although Sudan and South Sudan have taken some steps toward implementing the demilitarized buffer zone, by maintaining these installations, they have failed to fully comply with their obligations under agreements that they have signed. Creating a buffer zone In September 2012, the two Sudans agreed to create a 12.4-mile (20-kilometer) safe demilitarized buffer zone, or SDBZ, along their shared border in an effort to separate their armed forces and reduce the likelihood of cross-border conflict.3 The security arrangements agreement requires that both sides remove all armed forces from the SDBZ and establish a joint border-verification mechanism to track compliance and investigate alleged violations.

    United Nations S/2011/603 Security Council Distr.: General 29 September 2011 Original: English Report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Abyei I. Introduction 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to paragraph 11 of Security Council resolution 1990 (2011), in which the Council requested the Secretary-General to keep it regularly informed of progress in the implementation of the Agreement between the Government of the Sudan and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement on Temporary Arrangements for the Administration and Security of the Abyei Area, signed on 20 June 2011 in Addis Ababa. The present report outlines the latest developments in Abyei and provides an update on the deployment of the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA). It also provides recommendations for a change in the mandate of UNISFA to enable it to support an international border mechanism. II. Security situation 2. Following the displacement of a large majority of its inhabitants, the security situation in Abyei remained relatively calm during the reporting period. Heavy and sustained rains impaired UNISFA movement by road throughout much of the Area. As of 22 September, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) had not yet removed their elements from the area north of the Kiir/Bahr el-Arab river, including Abyei town, and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) had not yet withdrawn from the area south of the river. Movements across the river by the two forces have reportedly also been limited. On 25 July, a UNISFA engineer reconnaissance patrol to the Banton bridge observed some 150 SPLA troops in the vicinity.
