Aweil is a city located in South Sudan. It is the capital of Northern Bahr el Ghazal state and the administrative centre of Aweil Center County. It is also a service centre for the surrounding villages. Refugees, war displaced returnees, nomadic cattle keepers and local families moving seasonally with their animals to source water give Aweil a mobile population.

History

Aweil is an area which was affected by the slave trade in the 19th century and by civil war in the 20th century. It was the capital of Aweil State, a government area which existed between 2000 and 2020.

Geography

The town lies in the northwest of South Sudan on the A43. It is approximately 100 km south of the international border with the Republic of Sudan. The disputed region of Abyei is to the East.

Juba, the capital of South Sudan, is approximately 637 km to the South. The nearest larger town is Wau. There are several villages near to Aweil, some on the A43 and others in the countryside. Ashana Game Reserve is approximately 30 km to the west.

The topography is flat and prone to flooding. However, at an elevation of 425 m (1,394 ft) Aweil is on higher ground than the surrounding plains. The city lies close to the confluence of the Lol River with the Pongo River. The average elevation of the city of Aweil is about 425 metres (1,394 ft) above sea level.

Climate

Aweil is located in a Tropical savanna climate (classification Aw) with, usually, a dry winter. Summer can also be dry despite Aweil being in the tropics. The dry weather can develop to drought.
