Dissolution
The 2004 Protocol on the resolution of the Abyei conflict (Abyei Protocol) in the
Dinka chiefdoms transferred to Kordofan in 1905", with demarcation to be determined by a multinational commission. After considerable dispute, a consensus on boundaries enclosing a territory considerably smaller than the existing Abyei district was reached in 2009. A new administration was established for the new Abyei Area
, covering the southwestern part of the former district. It is unclear what local government provisions were put in place for the district's remaining territory.
