Kuajok, also spelled as Kuacjok[1] [2] or Kwajok,[3] is a city in South Sudan, and the capital of Warrap State.
Kuajok is located in Warrap State, in Bahr el Ghazal Region, in northwestern South Sudan, near the international border with the Republic of Sudan and the Abyei Region. This location lies approximately 690km (430miles), by road, northwest of Juba, the capital of South Sudan and the largest city in that country,[4] and approximately 100km (100miles), by road, north of Wau, the largest city in the Bahr el Ghazal Region.[5]
The city of Kuajok lies on Highway B38, along the western bank of the Jur River, close to the geographic point where the borders of Northern Bahr el Ghazal State, Warrap State and Western Bahr el Ghazal State intersect. Approximately 34km (21miles) further north on B38 lies the town of Gogrial, one of two places where the former NBA player, Manute Bol, might have been born.[6] [7] Kuajok serves as the capital of Warrap State.
