Abyei sudan seizure clooney 2011 5 24

Some 200 Sudanese demonstrators in the capital of southern Sudan, Juba, demonstrate against the northern military occupation of the contested Abyei region on May 23, 2011. The U.N. demanded that Khartoum withdraw its troops from Abyei after what the south branded an 'invasion' of the flashpoint border district prompted warnings Sudan is "close to the precipice" of renewed civil war.
