"Victory for Peace"

 The borders of Abyei, located in disputed oil rich zone, have been delineated and both Northern and Southern leaders seem positive about the decision.  Abyei has been made smaller, placing the Heglig oil field outside the Abyei border, in Northern territory.   In 2011, Abyei can decide for itself whether it wants to belong to the North or South.   

I have found that people in Mundri are still processing the information and trying to understand the ruling.  

  The BBC reports,  "The south's delegate Riak Machar, vice president in southern Sudan's semi-autonomous government, described the decision as "balanced" and said he was committed to respecting it.

"I think this is going to consolidate peace in Sudan. It is a victory for the Sudanese people and a victory for peace," he said."
