Sobat is one of "rebel" states formed in 2014, which continues to function.
South Sudan is in a state of chaos and different parts of the country have
formed separate administrations. "On 22 December 2014, rebel leader
and former vice president, Riek Machar, declared the 10 states of South Sudan
had dissolved and announced the formation of 21 new states in a federal system.
This declaration was not recognised by the central South Sudanese government.
The Sudan Tribune reported on 01 January 2015 that Machar had appointed
"military governors" for several of his declared states." (Source: Wikipedia).
On the same page is a map of 21 states, and one of them is Sobat (between Adar,
Fashoda and Bieh).
