The Lol State was a state of South Sudan with the capital in Raga,[1] that existed between 2 October 2015 and 22 February 2020.[2] It was located in the Bahr el Ghazal region, which is in the northwest section of the country. Lol state bordered Haut-Mbomou and Haute-Kotto in the Central African Republic to the west, South Darfur and East Darfur in Sudan to the north, the disputed region of Kafia Kingi to the northwest, Aweil East State to the northeast, Aweil State to the east, Gbudwe State to the south, and Wau State to the southeast. The state was created alongside 27 other states after a decree issuing the creation of 28 states took place.[3] It was dissolved at the conclusion of the South Sudanese Civil War.
