Sudan's planned withdrawal of troops would be followed by the creation of a police force and parliament for the territory, Khartoum's official in charge of Abyei affairs Al-Khair al-Faheem Mekki told state Radio Omdurman. The U.N. Security Council this month extended its security force's mission in Abyei, which includes about 4,000 peacekeepers, and demanded that Sudan withdraw their troops from the region following South Sudan's removal of about 700 police officers in early May.
