Figures who contributed to their positions towards the authority and their neighbors in the crisis of Abiy:
1) Dink Majok
When the sultans of Dinka asked him to return Abiy to the Dinka Sea in 1947, Dink Majok remained in Kordofan.
2) Dink Arub Kowal Arub Biyung
He is the son of Dink Majok's brother.
After the Adis Ababa agreement was signed in March 1972, Nimri wanted to get to know the Abiy area 2 and was enthusiastic about resolving its issue. Therefore, Abiy visited nine months after the agreement was signed and spent days there. However, an event occurred that embarrassed him in front of the public. When the procession leader Abu Nimri came to the stage at night to meet him, Dink Arub attacked him and took the microphone from him, and Abu al-Qasim Muhammad Ibrahim intervened to resolve the dispute. This stance angered Nimri and he returned to Khartoum and kept Abiy's file away.
3) Edward Leno
His joining the Rekshar movement after the events of December 2013 angered Salva Kiir, who issued a collective punishment against Abiy by keeping his file away.
4) Dr. Francis Dink Majok
He defended his father's wrong policies and decisions, and wrote a lot about Abiy's northern region. He presented many initiatives that caused multiple platforms and kept Abiy in the "grey area".
Other mistakes that caused some people to sympathize with Abiy's case:
1) Including Abiy's delegation in Lahai Heglig within Abiy's territory, and later going to the north. This did not please the Ruwai community.
2) Attempting to include Qukshar in the Oul region within Abiy's territory.
This did not please the Oul community of the eastern region.
3) The conflict over the ownership of the city of Aqok
The Tuwai community is afraid, saying that the city of Aqok is within its territory, due to the repeated events that happened in Heglig, as Abiy's situation has not been resolved yet for the benefit of its annexation to South Sudan.
Aqok is the only city in the history of Sudan and South Sudan 4 that is being abandoned by all its inhabitants and turned into military barracks. This conflict was due to the insistence of the former administrative chief, General Kwal Dem, on planning the city. The irony is that he stopped the planning of the city of Abiy, the administrative capital, when he found protests from some of its residents.
In short:
The positions of individuals and whims of those in power can lead to decisions that change the course of events.
