Quote: The Presidency Council comprising Omer al-Bashir, Salva Kiir Mayardit, and Ali Osman Taha has endorsed yesterday the ruling of the Permanent Court (PCA) of Arbitration on Abyei. The Presidency also agreed to form an interim technical committee to demarcate the Abyei boundary in accordance with the ruling of the Permanent Court of Arbitration. The Council endorsed the Interim Administration of the Abyei Area as a transitional body to administer the area as specified by the ruling of the Permanent Court and as stipulated in the Abyei Protocol in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. Meanwhile, the Secretary of Finance for the Abyei Administration, Deng Wor Deng, has said that the Federal Ministry of Finance and National Economy rejected the area’s proposed budget on the pretext that it was prepared by the government of southern Sudan. Speaking to Miraya FM, Deng said the Ministry did not approve the budget despite its approval by the Presidency and the Abyei Legislative Council. He said such action is political and it will not support the peace process. The Head of the Abyei Administration, Arop Moyak, has earlier told Miraya FM that the Ministry of Finance approved only five million Sudanese Pounds out of four million for the area.
