Sudan/South Sudan: Looming Crisis in Abyei

The !Enough Project published on 13 March 2014 an analysis titled "Looming Crisis: Open Wounds in Abyei Increase Risk of New War" by Maiwen Dot Pheot.  The author writes that armed youth and dissatisfied cadres within the South Sudanese army in the area seem to be interested in provoking a confrontation, both with the nomadic Misseriya who graze their animals in Abyei and the Sudanese government.
