Disputed Area Between Sudan & South Sudan: UNISFA Mandate Extended for One Year

On Friday, the UN Security Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) until 15 November 2026.

The council also urged Sudan and South Sudan to strengthen cooperation to advance peace, particularly regarding implementation of the Juba Peace Agreement and the high‑level talks held in August 2021.

ℹ Oil-rich Abyei remains controlled by Sudan yet contested by South Sudan. The UNISFA peacekeeping force has been present since 2011 to monitor tensions along the border, facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid, and use force to protect civilians and aid workers.
