'Elites of Twic Mayardit community' including at least one member of Salva Kiir Mayardit's advisory group, the Dinka Council of Elders, have been accused of seeking to annex some parts of the Abyei Area to the newly created Twic State. Last December, three members of parliament from Abyei addressed a letter to the chairman of the Council of States, drawing attention to the sketch map of 28 states, which they say misrepresents the boundary between Abyei Area and Twic State.
