JUBA/KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Northern and southern Sudanese representatives will meet on Saturday to try to defuse tensions over the disputed Abyei region, officials said, with just six weeks left before the south is set to secede.

Northern Sudanese armed forces seized the disputed Abyei region last week, forcing tens of thousands of people to flee and raising fears the north and south could return to full-blown conflict. The move drew sharp international criticism.

Abyei was a major battleground in Sudan's last civil war and has symbolic importance for both sides. The region is used all year by the south-linked Dinka Ngok people and for part of the year by northern Arab Misseriya nomads.

Hope this strife ends fast!
