Twic East County was a county located in Jonglei State, South Sudan. Its headquarters were located at Panyagor.[1][2] In May 2016, Twic East County was divided into Twic North County, Twic Center County, and Twic South County.[3]

Demographics

Twic East County was composed of five payams: Ajuong, Kongor, Lith, Nyuak, and Pakeer. According to the Fifth Population and Housing Census of Sudan, conducted in April 2008, Twic East County had a combined population of 8,5349 people, composed of 4,4039 male and 4,1310 female residents.[4][5]

History

The area encompassed by the former county of Twic East was formerly part of the Bor-Duk District.[6] The Bor-Duk district was later redesignated "Bor County," divided into two in August 2001, and then divided into three counties in 2003: Duk County, Twic East County, and Bor County.[7]

Twic East County was home to the Twic community and named after a founding ancestor named Atwic Arial. According to the Twic origin myth, their ancestors came from Patindur, which lay to the west of Paliau, where Atwic and his brother, Yiep, lived. They had a falling out, and Atwic left his brother in Patindur. After Atwic's departure, Patindur suffered an eight-year drought, which only ended when Yiep asked his brother to return. When Atwic returned so did the rains, earning him the chiefship.[8][9]

Dr. John Garang a founder of the SPLA and the first Vice President of the Republic of Sudan and the first President of South Sudan was born in Wangulei, in Kongor, in Twic East County.[10]
