 South Sudan does not recognize the name Heglig for the town.During the 10-day occupation by the SPLA, South Sudan restored the name of the town Panthou, a Dinka translation of the word "heglig".Panthou is a combination of two words in Dinka; Pand which mean the area or home and Thou for the tree (desert dates), in which Panthou is mean land or home of desert's date.
