The Road Back from Abyei Jan 2011Douglas H. Johnson addressing the root causes of the conflict

the Parties are desirous of resolving the Sudan conflict in a just and sustainable manner by addressing the root causes of the conflict and by establishing a framework for governance through which power and wealth shall be equitably shared and human rights guaranteed.... Machakos Protocol

Any resolution of the Abyei dispute must address the root causes, which are:
•    the marginalization of the Ngok Dinka within the systems of parliamentary and
local government since the 1950s;
•    the progressive annexation of their territory by the Misseriya, ( semi nomadic Arab trib. herders) with support of
successive Khartoum regimes since the 1970s;
 
•    the abrogation by Khartoum of the referendum promised in the Addis Ababa
Agreement of 1972;
•    the mobilization of Misseriya militias in the recent civil war during the 1980s and
1990s as a continuation of the policy of annexation.
