In May this year, President Kiir issued a Republican Decree forming a 10-member high-level committee to begin steps towards the determination of the final status of the disputed region of Abyei.<\/p>\n

The committee is led by Kiir\u2019s security advisor Tut Gatluak and other committee members include Assa Abas Akuei, Dr. Luka Monoja, Deng Biong Mijak, Majur Babur Ajang, James Deng Lual and Kom Kom Geng.<\/p>\n

Kiir tasked the committee to \u201cnegotiate with the Sudanese government in the spirit of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA)\u201d in a step the government hopes will lead towards an amicable solution for the final status of the disputed enclave.<\/p>\n

However, Dr. Luka Biong says there is need for President Salva Kiir to reconstitute the committee to include other stakeholders such as opposition groups and neighboring communities to Abyei region.<\/p>\n

\u201cSudan appointed its committee for the final status of Abyei in response to the committee appointed by President Salva. Comparing the membership of the two committees, there is a need to reconstitute the committee of South Sudan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile maintaining its leadership, there is a need to make the representation of Ngok Dinka to reflect their diversity. Also ministries like justice, foreign affairs, interior and petroleum to be included. Other neighboring communities to be considered. Opposition parties, particularly SPLM-IO to be represented,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
