Abyei's Dinka vote to join South Sudan

Along the border between Sudan and South Sudan, the Ngok Dinka community in the disputed region of Abyei has declared allegiance to the south. Earlier in the week, they held an unofficial referendum to decide which of the two countries they want to join - and the result: 99.9 percent in favor of South Sudan. Al Jazeera's Peter Greste reports from Abyei.

South Sudan should seek more sovereignty. The north is ruthless in their ways and need to stay in their own country. Good luck South Sudan.

it was obvious. People in Abyei are not muslims and they are ethnically nilotic and other ethnicities present in South Sudan.
Yet the islamic Sudan wont respect the will of these people and the international community wont help them

The Dinka are darker than used engine oil. They are darkest black men in the face of earth

this vote is not official because only the Dinka voted but the Misseria never voted. We Misseria will never join South and we will beat them back as we did before.
