During a visit to the West Kordofan state on Wednesday, Sudanese president Omer Hassan al-Bashir asserted that the contested Abyei area belongs to Sudan and will remain a Sudanese territory.

Bashir was speaking in an election rally in Al Foula the capital of the West Kordofan state, in a campaign for a third mandate since the singing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) which led to the independence of South Sudan.
