Ambassador Jeff Bartos said the attack showed Sudan and South Sudan are failing the people of Abyei.

The US expressed condolences to victims’ families and called for a full, transparent, and prompt investigation to hold perpetrators accountable.

Attacks on civilians and civilian objects are prohibited under international humanitarian law, the US Mission emphasized.

Unauthorized actors remain in the demilitarized Abyei Area, and Sudan and South Sudan have not settled Abyei’s final status or implemented 2011 Agreement commitments.

The US urged both countries to withdraw unauthorized forces, issue visas for UN police, resume final status talks, and establish the Abyei Police Service.

The Secretariat was urged to quickly deploy the first Formed Police Unit and appoint the Civilian Deputy Head of Mission.

For 15 years, the Security Council has accepted slow progress, resulting in no final status, no demilitarization, and no full UN police deployment.
