KHARTOUM - North and south Sudan have agreed to withdraw all unauthorized forces from the contested Abyei border region, the United Nations said, in an attempt to defuse tensions in the oil-producing flashpoint.

The south, where most follow Christian and traditional beliefs, overwhelmingly voted to declare independence from the mostly Muslim north in a referendum in January.

But both sides claim Abyei and have built up forces, beyond an agreed joint north-south unit, in the remote area. Analysts say Abyei is one of the likeliest places for conflict to erupt before the south secedes on July 9.
