Lorimi (Lol State) is a state in northern South Sudan, established in 2017 as a split from the former North Bahr El Ghazal State, with its capital at Kapoeta. Located on South Sudan's border with Sudan and Ethiopia, the state has a semi-arid climate with high average annual temperatures, sparse precipitation, and a predominantly savannah landscape. The economy is centered on animal husbandry, and the residents are mostly engaged in cattle and sheep breeding, which is one of the important livestock production areas in South Sudan; agriculture is limited by the climate, and mainly grows drought-resistant crops such as sorghum and maize. The population is dominated by the Dinka, Nuer and other tribes, and the traditional way of life is relatively well preserved. Infrastructure is relatively weak, with a lack of roads and medical resources, but education and basic services have gradually improved in recent years with international assistance. As one of the young administrative regions of South Sudan, Lorimi is working to promote regional economic recovery through the development of livestock and cross-border trade.
