Baliet is an administrative county in the Upper Nile State,[2][3] South Sudan. The County headquarters is the town of Baliet (also referred to as Banglai[4]), located on the north side of the Sobat River 20 km south east of Malakal, the capital city of Upper Nile State.[5]
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.
