我们注意到，目前阿卜耶伊的安全局势相对稳定，但与此同时，我们认识到，在政治、人道主义和经济领域仍然存在挑战。我们遗憾地注意到政治进程缺乏进展，并且阿卜耶伊地区仍然存在行政真空。阿卜耶伊缺乏有效的正式当局，导致执法能力受限，缺乏善政和法治，还妨碍向人民提供基本服务，特别是影响人民获得安全饮用水、教育和医疗服务。
We take note of the relatively stable security situation in Abyei at the moment, but at the same time we recognize the challenges that remain on the political, humanitarian and economic fronts. We note with regret the lack of progress in the political process and the fact that an administrative vacuum still exists in the Abyei Area. The absence of effective formal authorities in Abyei results in limited law enforcement and a lack of good governance and the rule of law. It also hinders the delivery of basic services to the population and in particular affects access to safe drinking water, education and health services.
