#1 Abyei by rights should belong to Bahr al-Ghazal, South Sudan. However, for decades the Arab transhumance herders have infringed on this land that historically was occupied by Dinka tribals. As overgrazing of herds became a problem the Arabs have pushed farther and farther south into Bahr al-Ghazal. UNISFA plans an important role, but as soon as it leaves (and eventually it will) the region will return to its former baneful existence.

#2 Abyei also has oil fields and that makes it too valuable to let go.
