Baliet County
Baliet is an administrative county in the Upper Nile State, South Sudan. The County headquarters is the town of Baliet (also referred to as Banglai), located on the north side of the Sobat River 20 km south east of Malakal, the capital city of Upper Nile State.
Baliet County, like others in Upper Nile State, was formed in 2006. It was part a previously larger "Sobat County," which also included other simultaneously formed counties of Longechuk, Maban, Malakal, Maiwut, Nasir, and Ulang. In the pre-Comprehensive Peace Agreement period, the counties were considered districts within Sobat County.
