Misseriya urge SAF not to withdraw from Abyei Sudan Safari Abyei, 19/05/12 – A prominent leader of the Misseriya tribe is calling on the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) not to withdraw from the area in defiance of a United Nations Security Council resolution. “It is meaningless to demand that the SAF withdraws from Abyei which is within Sudanese territory and thus within the jurisdiction of the SAF,” prominent Misseriya figure Mukhtar Babo Nimir said in an exclusive interview. He further argued that through these demands for the SAF withdrawal, the United Nations Security Council “wants to cause a problem between Sudan and the international community” so that Abyei would be handed to South Sudan. “There is no reason for Abyei to be annexed to South Sudan,” he said. He also warned that the Misseriya remain on the ground in Abyei and will never allow an intervention in their area. He described as blatant lies video footage and reports of the South Sudan Police Service personnel redeploying out of the Abyei area.
