In this photo released by the United Nations Mission in Sudan, residents of Abyei celebrate the decision of the the Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration to resolve the north-south boundary dispute, which erupted into violence last year between state forces and former southern rebels, in the town of Abyei, in Sudan, Wednesday, July 22, 2009. The arbitration was a crucial test for a 2005 peace agreement that ended 20 years of warfare between the government and southern Sudanese insurgents, with both sides saying they accepted the decision.
