Sudan: Norway welcomes agreement on Abyei 
Sudan: Norge ønsker avtale om Abyei velkommen
”I am pleased that a security agreement has been reached on Abyei. 
- Jeg glad for at man har kommet til en enighet om Abyei.
It is now essential that the agreement is implemented. 
Det er nå avgjørende at avtalen settes i verk.
I hope that the UN Security Council will endorse the agreement as soon as possible,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre after the agreement. 
Jeg håper at FNs sikkerhetsråd vil gi sin tilslutning til avtalen så snart som mulig, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Yesterday, representatives of the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement concluded a security agreement for the important region of Abyei. 
Partene i Nord- og Sør-Sudan ble i går ble enige om en sikkerhetsavtale om den viktige regionen Abyei.
I hope that the UN Security Council will endorse the agreement as soon as possible,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. 
Jeg håper at FNs sikkerhetsråd vil gi sin tilslutning til avtalen så snart som mulig, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
The main feature of the agreement is that all northern and southern armed forces are to be withdrawn from Abyei. 
Hovedelementet i avtalen er at alle væpnede styrker med tilknytning til Nord- og Sør-Sudan skal trekkes ut av Abyei.
The future affiliation of Abyei to either the north or the south will be determined a later point in time, on the basis of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement and the ruling of the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague. 
Abyeis fremtidige tilhørighet til enten det nordlige eller sørlige Sudan skal avgjøres på et senere tidspunkt, og på grunnlag av fredsavtalen fra 2005 og avgjørelsen i voldgiftsdomstolen i Haag.
The negotiations were facilitated by the African Union High-level Implementation Panel chaired by former President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa. 
Avtalen ble fremforhandlet av AU-panelet som ledes av Sør-Afrikas tidligere president Thabo Mbeki.
“The agreement on Abyei is important because it resolves the immediate crisis, which has forced thousands of families to flee the area. 
- Abyei-avtalen er viktig fordi den løser den akutte krisen i området som har ført til at mange tusen familier er drevet på flukt.
I greatly appreciate the fact that Ethiopia has responded positively to the parties’ request by making troops and equipment available,” said the Foreign Minister. 
Jeg setter stor pris på Etiopia har sagt ja til partenes henvendelse om å stille tropper og materiell til veie, sier utenriksministeren.
“Although yesterday’s development was a step forward, I would like to repeat that Norway remains concerned about the situation in Sudan, particularly in the state of Southern Kordofan. 
- Selv om gårsdagens nyhet er gledelig, vil jeg gjenta at Norge er bekymret for situasjonen i Sudan og da særlig i Sør-Kordofan.
I urge the parties to agree on a local ceasefire in the state. 
Jeg oppfordrer partene til umiddelbart å inngå en lokal våpenhvile i denne delstaten.
It is vital that political leaders on both sides now act responsibly and demonstrate a will to find political solutions to the fundamental problems,” said Mr Støre. 
Det er nå viktig at de politiske lederne på begge sider viser ansvar og vilje til å finne politiske løsninger på de grunnleggende problemene, sier Støre.
Norway is concerned by reports of abuse based on ethnic origin, killings of civilians, looting and the arming of local militias. 
Fra norsk side er man bekymret over rapporter om trakassering på grunnlag av etnisk tilhørighet, drap på sivile, om plyndring, og om bevæpning av lokale militsgrupper.
It is also deeply worrying that UN peacekeeping forces in the area have been attacked and threatened. 
Det er videre dypt urovekkende at FNs fredsbevarende styrke i området har vært utsatt for angrep og trusler.
Those responsible must be held responsible. 
De som er ansvarlige for overgrep må stilles til ansvar.
Over the past weeks, there has been fighting between the Sudan Armed Forces belonging to the government in the north and forces affiliated with the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement. 
De siste ukene har det vært kamper mellom regjeringshæren Sudan Armed Forces og styrker med tilknytning til Sudan People’s Liberation Movement som tilhører Sør- Sudan.
The UN estimates that around 75 000 people have been forced to flee, and has warned of a developing humanitarian disaster. 
FN anslår at rundt 75.000 personer er drevet på flukt og advarer om at det en humanitær katastrofe er i ferd med å utvikle seg.
The fighting between the parties is making it difficult for the UN and international NGOs in the area to reach those in need of emergency relief. 
Krigføringen mellom de to partene gjør det vanskelig for FN og de internasjonale NGOene i området å nå frem med nødhjelp.
Only three weeks remain until the Comprehensive Peace Agreement between northern and southern Sudan expires and South Sudan declares itself an independent state. 
Det er nå bare tre uker igjen til fredsavtalen (CPA) mellom Nord- og Sør-Sudan løper ut og Sør-Sudan erklærer seg som selvstendig stat.
Minister of the Environment and International Development Erik Solheim will represent Norway at the celebration of the new state of South Sudan on 9 July. 
Miljø- og utviklingsminister Erik Solheim representerer Norge på feiringen av den nye staten den 9. juli.
“I most emphatically urge the parties in Sudan to conclude negotiations on the framework agreement on relations between the two states. 
- Jeg oppfordrer partene i Sudan på det sterkeste til å sluttføre forhandlingene om ramme avtalen for forholdet mellom de to statene.
Norway supports the aim that the negotiations should lay the foundation for two sustainable states,” said Mr Solheim. 
Norge støtter målsetningen om at forhandlingene skal legge grunnlaget for to bærekraftige stater, sier Solheim.
Negotiations on relations between the two states are now ongoing in Addis Ababa and are being led by the African Union. 
Forhandlingene om forholdet mellom de to statene pågår også i Addis Abeba og ledes av AU.
Some of the important negotiation themes are security, cooperation in the petroleum sector, citizenship, currency, debt and the institutional framework for relations between the two states. 
Viktige tema som sikkerhet, samarbeid innenfor oljesektoren, statsborgerskap, valuta, gjeld og den institusjonelle rammen for samhandling mellom de to statene er gjenstand for forhandlinger.
