Jubek State was a state in South Sudan that existed between 2 October 2015 and 22 February 2020.[3] It contained the national capital, Juba, which is also the largest city in South Sudan. The state bordered include Yei River county to the southwest, Amadi county to the west, Terekeka county to the north, and Imatong county to the east.[4]
History
[edit | edit source]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 | edit source]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
