Gunmen attacked Abyei, claimed by Sudan and South Sudan, leaving 52 dead, including a UN peacekeeper.
Motivated by a land dispute, Nuer tribe youths attacked villagers in this oil-rich region.
Abyei, contested since a 2005 peace deal, has faced ongoing ethnic tensions.
The UNISFA base repelled the attack but lost a Ghanaian peacekeeper.
