history
From 1919 to 1974 the area of what is now the state of Dschanub Darfur belonged to the province of Darfur . In 1974 the province of Dschanub Darfur was split off, at that time it also included the southern part of Gharb Darfur . 1991-1994 all of Darfur was reunited in the state of Darfur, which resembled the province of Darfur from 1919 to 1974. On February 14, 1994, the division of Darfur into three states created the state of Dschanub Darfur in its current form.
In 1960 the area around Kafia Kingi was spun off from the bordering province of Bahr al-Ghazal (today the state of Western Bahr el Ghazal in South Sudan) and transferred to the then province of Darfur. It has since been controversial between North and South Sudan.
