The root cause of the conflict is a land dispute. The Abyei Administration Area has created and adopted the “Abyei Box” map, which crosses the known international boundary of 1956, Kiir River, which runs between Sudan and South Sudan. The 1956 boundary separates the Kordofan (Sudan) and Bahr el Ghazal (South Sudan) regions. This boundary was adopted by both Sudan and South Sudan as the official border separating the two countries.
