The south really wants Abyei; they have a core constituency who reside in the area who believe that Abyei belongs to the south. There are a number of those sons of Abyei in high positions of government in South Sudan, so it's pretty hard for South Sudan to just walk away.

My own country, Slovakia, has been there for South Sudan and its people. We made South Sudan a priority country of our official development assistance and humanitarian aid.

Miroslav Lajcak

I fought for years in South Sudan for the unity of Sudan. I was a commander in the fields, fighting for the unity of Sudan.

Omar al-Bashir

Building confidence and constructive relations between Sudan and South Sudan is urgent

Jimmy Carter

South Sudan is one of the most hard-put places in the world.

Henry Rollins

While it's easy for South Sudan to feel distant, the situation is all too real for the South Sudanese mothers choosing which child gets to eat tomorrow. This is a time when we must look outward together and declare that humanity has no borders - no one deserves to suffer like this, especially in a world of such abundance.

Forest Whitaker

I try not to cover Sudan from afar. I feel really uncomfortable writing about Sudan when I'm not there. It always looks different. When you're outside Sudan it's easy to lose sight of how much of what happens is driven by local politics. And when you're in America in particular, there's this sense that what D.C. has to say is the only thing that counts. Unsurprisingly people in Sudan don't feel the same way.

South Sudan is the youngest nation on the planet.

Tom Hiddleston

I'm from South Sudan, that is where my heart will always be.

Thon Maker

The international community has to overcome its differences and find solutions to the conflicts of today in South Sudan, Syria, Central African Republic and elsewhere. Non-traditional donors need to step up alongside traditional donors. As many people are forcibly displaced today as the entire populations of medium-to-large countries such as Colombia or Spain, South Africa or South Korea.

Antonio Guterres

I never thought I would see a free South Sudan.

Alek Wek

I don't know anywhere where the people are hungrier for education than South Sudan.

Emmanuel Jal

Nothing seemed more important to me than to make the world aware of the senseless death and starvation in South Sudan. I wanted people to see through the eyes of the suffering so my photos might motivate the international community to act.

Lynsey Addario

There is so much poverty and desperation in South Sudan, and yet each side is militarily equipped.

Tom Hiddleston

Let us pray for peace in Africa, especially in the Central African Republic and in South Sudan.

Pope Francis

It's best to think of these as two things - they're related, but there's different dynamics going on with each of them. A key difference is Abyei is contested territory. We still do not know whether Abyei is going to belong to the new country of South Sudan or effectively the new country of Sudan, the northern part. That was supposed to be decided by a referendum in January; that referendum never happened, so it was being dealt with through political negotiations.
