  1. “We very much hope that UNISFA, which is the only entity providing law and order in Abyei, will operate in its mandated full capacity.”

  2. “We call on United Nations actors and all stakeholders to place a sharp focus on implementing the women and peace and security agenda in Abyei, including by engaging with community stakeholders, women and youth. At the same time, we echo the Secretary-General’s call for the inclusion of human rights monitoring and expertise in the mission. UNISFA urgently needs permanent human rights experts to fill that void. Finally, we call on the Governments of South Sudan and the Sudan to ensure that the mission and the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism can carry out their mandates unimpeded. The Sudan in particular needs to issue all visas requested by UNISFA for its police components in order to allow the mission to function and implement the mandate in full.”

  3. “Confidence-building measures are urgently needed and must be implemented in a coordinated manner. We commend the United Nations country teams in the Sudan and South Sudan for improving their coordination and cooperation in Abyei, reflecting a one-United Nations approach that is imperative in addressing the complex situation on the ground. UNISFA should work closely with both country teams in order to ensure that all United Nations actors on the ground speak with one voice and act in harmony. Albania applauds the first signs of participation of women in Abyei. We cannot find sustainable solutions when half of the population is excluded from decision-making. It is high time to bring women into the discussions and include them in project work.”

  4. “This comes at a vital time in Abyei, as new violence has broken out and peacekeepers have increasingly been attacked and injured in recent weeks. We are deeply concerned about the recently renewed violence that has resulted in humanitarian suffering and displacement and has aggravated disputes between communities in Abyei. Such intercommunal violence risks reversing gains made towards achieving peaceful coexistence in the Area. We urge the parties to show political will, prevent an escalation of hostilities and call for the immediate cessation of violence. While there is no political will and no progress on the political agreements and border demarcation between Khartoum and Juba, the socioeconomic grievances of the population need to be addressed. The various actors and communities continue to mistrust each other.”

  5. “I thank Under-Secretary- General Lacroix and Special Envoy Tetteh for their briefings today, as well as the representatives of the Sudan and South Sudan for their presence. At the outset, I would like to thank Ethiopia for its leadership and engagement as the sole troop-contributor to the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) over the past decade. Ethiopia has made a significant impact in supporting the safety and security of the people in Abyei and has ensured that the mission could carry out its functions, as mandated by the Council. UNISFA is now at a critical point due to its restructuring as a multinational mission. We thank all the troop-contributing countries whose battalions or personnel have already been deployed.”
