SUBJECT: SAF WITHDRAWAL FROM ABYEI AND UNMIS PATROLLING SUSPENDED 
AFTER AGOK SHOOTING INCIDENT, PARTNERS SIGN ABYEI ARBITRATION 
PROTOCOL 
 
1. (SBU) SUMMARY:  On July 7, GNU and GoSS VPs Taha and Machar 
signed the Protocol for the Arbitration of the Abyei boundary 
dispute.  Simultaneously, a shooting incident involving SPLA, SAF, 
and UNMIS personnel in Agok led to the serious wounding of two 
individuals and a halt to the withdrawal of the SAF 31ST Bde from 
Abyei.  Through a single undisciplined act, the SPLA has provided 
the SAF with an easy excuse to again delay a key provision of the 
Abyei Roadmap.  END SUMMARY. 
 
Shooting in Agok Leads to Halt in SAF Withdrawal 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
2.  (SBU) An altercation between SPLA and SAF soldiers in Agok on 
July 7 led to the shooting of an UNMIS Military Observer (UNMO) from 
Benin and an SAF national monitor by an SPLA soldier.  Both injured 
men were medevaced from Agok to the UNMIS compound in Abyei 40 kms. 
away for emergency treatment, where they were reported to be in 
serious, but stable, condition.  Later the UNMO was medevaced to 
Khartoum for onward transport to Nairobi; by the time he arrived in 
Khartoum, he was in a coma, with the bullet reportedly lodged in his 
brain.  Agok is the current location of most of the 40,000 IDPs who 
fled Abyei during the fighting there in mid-May. 
 
3.  (SBU) UNMIS military reported that the altercation involved an 
SPLA soldier in a fistfight with a SAF and an SPLA national monitor. 
 When the latter two individuals entered a vehicle, the SPLA soldier 
fired into the vehicle, wounding the SAF soldier in the arm, as well 
as seriously wounding the UNMO, who was not involved in the initial 
altercation.  (Note: Embassy Khartoum issued a statement of regret 
July 8, which called on forces in the Abyei region to better control 
their soldiers as well as the full withdrawal of SPLA and SAF from 
Abyei, the full deployment of the JIUs, and the early installation 
of the interim administration. End note.) 
 
4.  (SBU) In response to the incident, SAF has halted the slow 
withdrawal of the 31st SAF Brigade from Abyei town, which it began 
on July 4 and which was continuing in a desultory fashion until now. 
 Further, the SAF has once more told UNMIS that it cannot move north 
or south of its camp. 
 
5.  (SBU) UNMIS Force Commander General Paban Thapa traveled to Agok 
with the Ceasefire Joint Monitoring Commission.  SRSG for Sudan 
Ashraf Qazi issued a statement July 8 strongly condemning the 
shooting.  He called upon the SPLA to identify those soldiers 
responsible for wounding the two officers and to bring the 
perpetrators to justice. Qazi also strongly urged the parties not to 
allow this incident to impede or interfere with implementation of 
the Abyei road map. 
 
GoS and SPLM Sign Abyei Boundary Arbitration Protocol 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
6.  (SBU) On the same day as the shooting, GNU Vice President Ali 
Osman Taha and GoSS Vice President Riek Machar, in a ceremony at the 
Presidential Palace in Khartoum, signed the Protocol on the 
arbitration of Abyei boundary dispute in accordance with their Abyei 
Roadmap agreement.  However, the two sides remain deadlocked on the 
naming of the interim Abyei administration, specifically by the 
NCP's desire to nominate an ethnic-Misseriya to the post of Deputy 
Administrator.  The SPLM warns that if the NCP insists on nominating 
a Misseriya, rather than an Ngok Dinka, it could be a deal-breaker. 
 
COMMENT 
- - - - 
7.  (SBU) The SPLA's lack of discipline has once again handed a 
temporary advantage to the NCP and the SAF.  The 31st Brigade's 
withdrawal, along with freedom for UNMIS to patrol outside of town, 
were key provisions of the Abyei Roadmap. There had been real, if 
tenuous progress on both these issues.  The SAF has made it 
abundantly clear since the Roadmap was signed a month ago that it 
does not want to withdraw the 31st Brigade from Abyei town, and it 
has been relying on a variety of transparent excuses since then to 
delay their departure.  The start of its departure on July 4, 
however slow, was an unexpected and hopeful sign.  The shooting of 
the two officers in Agok has provided the excuse the SAF needed to 
call a halt.  We will continue to press the GOS regime to fully and 
rapidly withdraw the SAF 31st brigade from Abyei, as well as to once 
again allow complete freedom of movement by UNMIS.  CDA also pressed 
GOSS Minister of the Presidency Luka Biong Deng July 8 on the need 
to improve control of SPLA forces (septel).  Biong Deng promised to 
look into the incident.
