The Ruweng Administrative Area is an administrative area in South Sudan.[3] The area was known as Ruweng State between 2 October 2015 and 22 February 2020 when it was a state of South Sudan.[4]

History

On 1 October 2015, President Salva Kiir issued a decree establishing 28 states in place of the 10 constitutionally established states.[5] The decree established the new states largely along ethnic lines. A number of opposition parties and civil society groups challenged the constitutionality of the decree. Kiir later resolved to take it to parliament for approval as a constitutional amendment.[6] In November the South Sudanese parliament empowered President Kiir to create new states.[7] Mayol Kur Akuei was appointed Governor in 2015.[8]
