Olufemi, according to a statement extended to Sudan Tribune on Friday, stressed the need to promote dialogue between the two communities and avoid activities that will upset peace and security in the disputed area.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Olufemi] encouraged them to accept the establishment of Community Protection Committees [CPC] and the activation of the early warning system (EWS),\u201d it further stressed.<\/p>\n

The UNISFA force commander also met and exchanged views with the Misseriya traditional and community leaders led by paramount chief Muktar. The leaders called for more development in northern Abyei and underscored the importance of complying with the June 2011 agreement between Sudan and Southern Sudan as the only legitimate agreement on Abyei.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Todach, General Sawyerr met with representatives of the Misseriya and Ngok Dinka traders operating in the Amiet Market. He charged them to live in peace with one another and avoid conflicts, stressing that as traders, they needed a peaceful environment to carry out their business activities without interruption,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

Also present at the meeting were the deputy UNISFA force commander, Brig. Gen Syed Mohammod Abu Bakir, UNISFA Police Commissioner Violet Nasambu Lusala and the Mission\u2019s Chief of Staff, Alexander Rose.<\/p>\n
