Khartoum — The Advisor to the President of the Republic, Gen Salah Abdallah Gosh, has warned the Sudan People Liberation Movement from unilaterally entering Abyei area.
The Advisor of the President of the Republic on Security Matter, has pointed out in his meeting with former US President Jimmy Carter that the Sudanese government was convinced that the Abyei was a northern area as it is situated north of the January 1st 1956 borderlines, and that the various parties have consented that the referendum would not resolve the question of Abyei
He held officials hailing from Abyei within the SPLM for the complication of the issue of Abyei, stressing however that joint committees on Abyei were still reviewing the issue
