"The security situation in the state of Abyei is very worrying. I would encourage the parties involved to engage in a peace dialogue by once again entering negotiations with the African Union. I would also call for a referendum to be held, as stipulated in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). Both the north and the south will have to work to resolve several crucial questions which have been left in abeyance, such as the drawing of the boundaries between the two countries, the dividing up of oil revenues, the use of pipelines, the issue of citizenship and the organising of popular consultations in the Blue Nile and South Kordofan. Support for South Sudan must be one of our priorities. We would encourage it to sign and to ratify the Cotonou Agreement, which will open the door to new prospects for cooperation. We would encourage it, along with Khartoum, to introduce a pluralistic and multi-ethnic democracy and an independent civil society, with a key role for justice alongside legislative and executive powers. We are delighted that we will be welcoming a South Sudanese parliamentarian once South Sudan has signed and ratified the Cotonou Agreement within the Joint Parliamentary Assembly (JPA). We must continue to be attentive to the north; we must not ignore it or isolate it diplomatically."@en1
