Introduction to Aweil, South Sudan
Aweil is an important town in the northern part of South Sudan, located in Western Bahr el Ghazal State, close to the Sudanese border. As a regional administrative and commercial center, Aweil has a strategic position in the trade routes connecting South Sudan to Sudan. The local economy is dominated by agriculture and livestock, and relies on subsistence farming and livestock trading.
History and Population
Aweil was historically affected by the Sudanese civil war for a long time, and became a major border town after the independence of South Sudan in 2011. The population is dominated by indigenous groups such as the Dinka, and the demographics have been heavily influenced by conflict migration, making the community multicultural.
Geography and Economy
Located in a savannah climate zone with distinct dry and rainy seasons, the economy is based on sorghum and maize cultivation and cattle breeding. Border trade and humanitarian aid are important supplements to the local economy, but poor infrastructure constrains development.
