Kodok is a town in the northeastern South Sudanese state of Upper Nile. Kodok is the capital of Shilluk country, formally known as Shilluk Kingdom. Shilluk has been an independent kingdom for more than sixteen centuries. Fashoda is known as the place where the British and French nearly went to war in 1898.
According to Shilluk belief, religion, tradition and constitution, Fashoda serves as mediating city for Shilluk King. It is a place where ceremonies and coronation of New Shilluk King takes place. For over more than 500 years, Fashoda is kept hidden and acted as forbidden city for Shilluk King, but as the modern educations and traditions emerge, Fashado is now known to the outside World.
Fashoda is a believed to be a place where the spirit of Juok (God), the spirit of Nyikango (the founder of Shilluk Kingdom and the spiritual leader of Shilluk religion), the spirit of the deceased Shilluk kings and the spirit of the living Shilluk King come to mediate for the Kingdom of Shilluk’s spiritual healing. Fashoda is preserved as a quiet place for the spirit of God, where the sounds and speeches of God (Juok) can be heard and received by the King, leaders, and elders. For Shilluk, Fashoda is a city of mediation and peace.
