Question: What region is the Sudan and Chiromachla leuconoe in?
Context: Southern Sudan (Arabic: حكومة جنوب السودان‎ ‎ "Ḥukūmat Janūb al-Sūdān") was an autonomous region consisting of the ten southern states of Sudan between its formation in July 2005 and independence as the Republic of South Sudan in July 2011.  The autonomous government was initially established in Rumbek and later moved to Juba.  It was bordered by Ethiopia to the east; Kenya, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south; and the Central African Republic to the west.  To the north lies the predominantly Arab and Muslim region directly under the control of the central government.  The region's autonomous status was a condition of a peace agreement between the Sudan People's Liberation Army/Movement (SPLA/M) and the Government of Sudan represented by the National Congress Party ending the Second Sudanese Civil War.  The conflict was Africa's longest running civil war. The Kafia Kingi (Arabic: كافيا كنجي‎ ‎ ) area is a disputed mineral-rich region on the border between Sudan and South Sudan.  It was due to be given to South Sudan under the terms of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement which required use of the Sudan "north-south line" as of "January 1, 1956".  It was not until 1960 that the Kafia Kingi area was transferred north of that line and added to Darfur.  Sudan controls all or most of this area today, though at times since independence South Sudan forces have briefly controlled large portions. Abel Alier Kwai (born 1933) is a South Sudanese politician and judge who served as Vice President of Sudan between 1971 and 1982 and as President of the High Executive Council of the Southern Sudan Autonomous Region between 1972 and 1978.  After Sudan gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1956, Southern Sudan was not left as an independent state.  This led to a deadly war a year before the independence.  A party in the war was Anyanya 1 Under Joseph Lagu.  Abel Alier was a politician who managed to complete his college education among many Southern Sudanese.  He is an internationally respected judge, human-rights lawyer and activist on behalf of Christians in the Sudan.  Former Vice President of Sudan (1971–1982), he served as the first president of the High Executive Council of Southern Sudan.  He sits on the Permanent Court of International Arbitration in The Hague and is recognized as Sudan's most prominent Christian lawyer.  His latest book is "Southern Sudan: Too Many Agreements Dishonoured". The Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (Arabic: السودان الإنجليزي المصري‎ ‎ "as-Sūdān al-Inglīzī al-Maṣrī ") was a condominium of the United Kingdom and Egypt in the eastern Sudan region of northern Africa between 1899 and 1956, but in practice the structure of the condominium ensured full British control over the Sudan.  It attained independence as the Republic of the Sudan, which since 2011 has been split into Sudan and South Sudan. The South Sudan Liberation Movement (SSLM) is an armed group that operates in the Upper Nile Region of South Sudan.  The group's creation was announced in November 1999 by people of the Nuer ethnicity who were in both the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) and the government-allied South Sudan Defense Force (SSDF) gathered in Waat.  The SSLM was declared to be unaligned in the Second Sudanese Civil War, then entering its sixteenth year.  The name "South Sudan Liberation Movement" was decided upon the next year, borrowing from the earlier Southern Sudan Liberation Movement, which existed in the 1980s. Mao-Komo is one of the 20 woredas in the Benishangul-Gumuz Region of Ethiopia.  Because it is not part of any Zone in Benishangul-Gumuz, it is considered a Special woreda, an administrative subdivision which is similar to an autonomous area.  The southernmost woreda in the Region, Mao-Komo is bordered on the west by Sudan and South Sudan, on the north by the Asosa Zone, and on the east and south by the Oromia Region.  Towns in this woreda include Tongo and it has a weekly market.  Tongo refugee camp, housing 12,483 displaced people from Sudan and South Sudan, is also located in Mao-Komo. Ayat Stars Football Club, also known as Ayat Stars or simply Ayat, is a South Sudanese soccer club.  The club is currently based in Aweil Centre County, Aweil State, in northwestern South Sudan, near the International border with the Republic of Sudan and the Abyei Region.  The team is nicknamed "The Thunders".  It was formed on December 30, 2009, and initially started as a part of the South Sudan Premier League (SSPL).  Ayat shares Aweil Stadium with various teams such as Tuektuek, Madiria, Apada, Merreikh Aweil, Salaam Aweil and Aweil Stars.  They participate in the South Sudan Premier League, South Sudan National Cup and South Sudan Football Championship, depending on qualification. The Sudan or Sudan ( , ; Arabic: السودان‎ ‎ "as-Sūdān") also known as North Sudan since South Sudan's independence and officially the Republic of the Sudan (Arabic: جمهورية السودان‎ ‎ "Jumhūriyyat as-Sūdān"), is a country in Northern Africa.  It is bordered by Egypt to the north, the Red Sea, Eritrea and Ethiopia to the east, South Sudan to the south, the Central African Republic to the southwest, Chad to the west and Libya to the northwest.  It is the third largest country in Africa.  The River Nile divides the country into eastern and western halves.  Before the Sudanese Civil War, South Sudan was part of Sudan, but it became independent in 2011.  Its predominant religion is Islam. The New Sudan Education Initiative (NESEI) is a non-profit organization based in Colchester, Vermont in the United States, which is building secondary schools (high schools) throughout South Sudan, a region affected by war for nearly half a century.  It was founded in January 2006 by Atem Deng, a former Sudanese refugee, and Robert Lair, a social entrepreneur and educator.  The organization was created after a Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed in 2005, bringing the conflict in southern Sudan to an official close.  The CPA created a critical opportunity for development to take place in this region.  In 2004, Deng and Lair asked Sudanese they met at refugee camps throughout East Africa what was most needed in their homeland.  "Education" was the resounding answer they received.  South Sudan currently suffers from some of the worst education access rates in the world.  Female illiteracy hovers above 93%, and only 5% of young people graduate from high school.  It was from these discussions with Sudanese refugees that they developed NESEI.  The organization opened its first school in May 2008, near the town of Yei, and it currently plans to build 20 schools throughout South Sudan. Chiromachla leuconoe is a moth of the family Erebidae.
