The state borders North Darfur to the north, South Darfur to the west, South Sudan to the south, and West Kordofan to the east. It was created in January 2012 as a result of the ongoing peace process for the wider Darfur region. The state capital is Ed Daein. The state was formed from land that was part of the state of South Darfur.
