Hillary Clinton has added her voice to calls for Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir to withdraw his troops from Abyei and lent support to a plan for Ethiopia to lead a special peacekeeping mission to the disputed region.

“The United States strongly believes a robust peacekeeping presence should be a central part of the security arrangements in Abyei,” Clinton said. “We would welcome both parties [north and south Sudan] agreeing to ask Ethiopia, which has volunteered to send peacekeepers, to do so as part of the UN mission,” she added.

Bashir has ignored all previous calls – from the United Nations Security Council and others – to pull his troops out of Abyei after they invaded the town last month triggering a humanitarian crisis as 100,000 fled the area.
