Welcome to Mading Aweil Website
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Prior to the demise of the Mahdiyya state in 1898 and the subsequent conquest of Sudan by Anglo-Egyptian forces, there never existed any single geo-political area known as Aweil comprising of the five countries as it does today. The name Mading Aweil is a corrupted Dinka’s name taken from Mading Ayuel. The name Mading Aweil was derived from an event in which a bull coloured “Mading” was slaughtered as a sacrifice by somebody called Ayuel, a man from the Paliej (paan Achiec) clan, a clan that first settled in what is now known as Aweil town. (This was before they lost control of their cattle campMading-Ayuel to Pahol clan, who later claim the ownership of the land which now lies entirely in Ajuet Diing Akol area. It was referred to as Aweil Akot Aru, a then Deputy Paramount Chief of Ajuet.)
