Gunmen attacked Abyei, claimed by Sudan and South Sudan, leaving 52 dead, including a UN peacekeeper. Motivated by a land dispute, Nuer tribe youths attacked villagers in this oil-rich region. Abyei, contested since a 2005 peace deal, has faced ongoing ethnic tensions. The UNISFA base repelled the attack but lost a Ghanaian peacekeeper.
