Since the end of the cold war in the 1990s and has evolved from the state centric and to human centric or non-military issues ranging from poverty, unemployment, infectious disease, environmental degradation and corruption among others has evidently influenced and challenged global politics, institutions, and governance creating the current security debate (Tadjbakhsh, 2007). Contemporary human security centers on human security to attain the twin goals of “freedom from want” and “freedom from fear” (Jerey et al, 2001; Annan, 2005). The study used the realism and the liberalist theories that all explain the concept of security in international relations (Wendt, 1999; Ruggie, 1998). According to the (UNEP) United Nations Development Programme (1994), the concept of human security generally supplements the traditional or realist concept of security and represents the emergence of a new paradigm in the field of international relations (Stephen, 1991; Keith & Micheal Williams, 1997). The Abyei region has been a subject of contention between the two Sudans for over 50 years without resolution. The current state of human security in the Kec Village in Ameth Agok in Abyei region is worsening with characterized with high levels of infectious disease, hunger, pollution, civil war and terrorism, unemployment, political oppression and environmental degradation as Sudan and South Sudan battle out ownership of the oil rich areas in what has now been called trans-boundary oil conflict (Bruton, 1992). The legal instruments and conferences within the United Nations Organizations (UNO) and its other agencies that argue for cooperation of Sudan and South Sudan over Abyei region through advocating for the Abyei Border Commission (ABC) and the holding referendum and poor implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) signed in 2005 among others which have been ineffective (Bah, 2005). Scholars like; Azar (1990); Klare (2001); Johnson, 2008); Johnson (2013) and Nyong’o (2013), argue that Sudan has not used the oil in Abyei to stimulate human and economic development of the area hence human insecurities.
