More than fifty people were killed in fighting on South Sudan’s border with Sudan.
A rebel group is blamed for the attacks in the oil-rich Abyei area, which is also claimed by Sudan to the north.
So what’s stirred the violence? Where is it leading?

  1. Your all gambling on what's going on in Abyei and the Media is pushing this out in the face of the world. Media companies have been doing this for long and it's working I don't really understand why people can't see how Media sparks and fuels lies in this world

  2. The issue is not for people of Abyei or Twic, the problem is our nation government of South Sudan. Our government has failed to maintain peace. Let the central government impose the law and stop these two communities from fighting.
    The land shouldn't be owned by communities from the first place.

  3. I don't know when both Sudan and South Sudan reach a lasting peace agreement,resolving their freequent differences?Wherever we live,our hearts are broken with pain due to the freequent deadly violence in our beloved home lands,Sudan and South Sudan.😢

  4. It’s just common sense! They’re literally South Sudanese 🇸🇸..wtf is Sudan 🇸🇩 trying to do with it? Let’s Abyei just go to South Sudan 🇸🇸

  5. Al Jazeera stop lying. The president is not from.twic Mayardit
    Get your facts right and stop instigating, wars🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

  6. United States divided Sudan and make all that how are you guys a group of people in US government to divide a country John Kerry and his friends Obama George w bush all work for the devil

  7. To Douglas Johnson, I'm glad to see he was apart of the interview, You mentioned that during the Abyei Commission in 2005 that Twic Leaders were approaching you with their concerns in regards to their land being Annexed to Abyei Box! why didn't you address it, when you said in your own words that there will be potential dispute in the near future, you saw this coming what was stopping you from addressing the concerns and the Hague ruling and you are apart of the negligence of this whole dispute. It's clear and obvious that South Kiir river is not and has never been apart of the dispute. I'm glad that the Hague ruling didn't succeed, because it was rigged built on lies thats why it didn't work.
    Abyei area was demarcated in the northern parts, Western parts and Eastern parts. The Hague ruling never talks about the Southern Parts/South Kiir River, it was instilled based on 1/1/1956 and thats the border between two province, South Kordofan and Bahr el Ghazal and thats another reason the Hague ruling has remained how it is respecting the border. fyi President Salva Kiir is not from Twic Mayardit, Yes were from the same state, Warrap State but a different tribe

  8. You people in Al-Jazeera are bad people. Why should abyi issue be a factor in destabilising South Sudan 🇸🇸. You people are bad wishers. South Sudan will always be safe 🙏.

  9. How can you join a country that you belong to. The Dinka Ngok of abyi are south Sudanese and the internationally community just want to show that they are doing something. This issue can be addressed only by south Sudanese.

  10. Don't forget Greater Jonglei State, where innocent women and children and the elderly are killed frequently by Murle Youth from Greater Pibor, who are being armed intentionally to cause displacement, unrest and to make Jonglei uninhabitable, & South Sudan gov is turning a blind eye😢😢😢
