History

In 1988, during the Second Sudanese Civil War (1983–2005), a MiG-23MS crashed in Jalle Payam near Kolmarek. SPLA Radio reported at the time that the jet had suffered from a technical fault. [3] [4] It was sometimes later reported that the plane had been brought down by the SPLA. [5] [6] The aircraft's pilot, a second lieutenant from Benghazi, Libya, was captured by people living near the crash site and turned over to the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA). [3] The pilot and his aircraft were held out by the SPLA as "concrete evidence" of foreign involvement in the Second Sudanese Civil War. [3]

Demographics

Jalle is composed of four bomas: Akuai-deng, Jalle, Kolmarek, and Kuei-juet. [7] [note 1] According to the Fifth Population and Housing Census of Sudan, conducted in April 2008, Jalle had a combined population of 13,506 people, composed of 7,024 male and 6,482 female residents. [7] [note 2]

Jalle is home to Juet, Aboudit, and Alian communities. [8]

Notes

  1. ↑ A number of reports incorrectly state that Jalle is composed of five bomas. This confusion may stem from references to "boma level villages," a phrase indicating that a village is small, not that it is a unit of local government. For example, see Winrock International & United Nations Development Program (UNDP) (2011). Annex IV BRIDGE Winrock Q1 Report FY 2012 – Bor County Profile (PDF) (Report). USAID.

That the majority of the 20,520 returnees who re-settled in Bor County between January and November, 2008, settled in Baidit Payam (owing to flooding in Jalle and better access to humanitarian aid in Baidit) is cited as a reason for an under-count of residents in Jalle Payam during the Fifth Population and Housing Census of Sudan, conducted in April 2008.
