GPAA comprises the boundaries of former Pibor and Pochalla counties of Jonglei, along the Ethiopian border, in a territory mainly inhabited by Anyuak, Jie, Kachipo, and Murle people, thus strengthening the administrative divide from surrounding counties predominantly inhabited by Nuer and Dinka.

"The humanitarian situation in Pibor is so bad that women and children sleep in the open with empty stomachs for days. Women and children face high risk of starvation without an increase in humanitarian assistance" Oxfam Country Director statement.
