South Sudan on Friday called on the UN to push Sudan on quickly resolving the issues on the status of the contested oil-rich Abyei region after the UN Security Council gave a six-month ultimatum on May 15. Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Mawien Makol told Xinhua that there was need for quick action by the Sudanese authorities to implement the outstanding issues in the Abyei protocol under the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) 2005.
