Aerial view shows a part of Abyei village, Sudan, Friday, May 24, 2008, after days of fighting last week. The town, contested by north and south Sudan for its oil resources and grazing fields, has been deserted after fighting raged for a few days between Sudanese armed forces and an army of former southern rebels last week. U.N. officials say up to 90,000 people have been displaced from Abyei and neighboring villages, casting a long shadow over the fate of a 2005 peace deal between north and south Sudan, that capped more than 20 years of civil war.
