History edit

On 2 October 2015, the president of South Sudan issued a decree establishing 28 states in order to replace the 10 constitutionally established states.[5] The decree established the new states mostly among ethnic lines. A number of opposition parties and civil society groups challenged the constitutionality of the decree, and these actions led to president Salva Kiir to take the decree to parliament for approval as a constitutional amendment.[6] In November the South Sudanese parliament empowered President Kiir to create new states.[7]

As part of that reorganization, the former Juba County was turned into a separate state and renamed "Jubek". Augustino Jadalla Wani was appointed as the governor of Jubek State on 24 December 2015.[8]

Administrative divisions edit

As part of the 2016 reorganization, Jubek State was divided into fourteen counties, that were fully implemented on 16 September 2016. They are Lodu, Luri, Mongalla, Gondokoro, Rejaf, Wonduruba, Lobonok, Bungu, Ganji (Ganzi), Dollo, Rokon, Lyria and Oponi.

Each county also got its own commissioner.[2]

Geography edit

Rivers edit

The state is crossed from south to north by the White Nile, which is called locally Bahr el-Jebel ("Mountain River" in Arabic) or Sukiri. The capital Juba is located on its west bank. The state contains several tributaries of the White Nile, including the Koda, Kaia, Ayi, Loiforo (Lefureur), Kit, Luri, Nvigera, Lori, and Gwar.[9]

Towns and cities edit

Juba is the capital of Jubek state, as it was of the former Juba County. It is also the capital and most populous city of the entre country of South Sudan.[10]
