Warrap is the birthplace of President Salva Kiir and the seat of his power. The state is home to many of the leading generals and politicians in his coalition, including—most notably—Akol Koor Kuc who controls Warrap state; and Governor Manhiem Bol Malek wields power by remaining in Koor’s good graces. Manhiem, like his predecessor, has not been successful in quelling dissent and intercommunal clashes. This failure has heightened tensions surrounding the upcoming 2024 elections, and the real possibility of an eruption of violence.
