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.


In the year 2010 an Armed Insurrection was initiated and led by David Yau Yau against the government of South Sudan which was dominated by David Yau Yau and his Cobra Faction.


In the year 2014 peace negotiation was initiated between David Yau Yau's Cobra Faction and the government of South Sudan in Addis Ababa Ethiopia that led to a compromise that carved out two counties of Pibor and Pochalla within Jonglei state to create the new semi-autonomous Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA).


Oxfam Country Director earlier this year said that, humanitarian situation in GPAA is so bad because women and children are sleeping hungry. 


"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.
