This commemorative postage stamp was issued in 1966 by Sudan as part of the official "Month of the South" campaign. Released by the central government in Khartoum during a crucial political period, the initiative utilized the national postal service to emphasize national integration, regional awareness, and civic reconciliation between Northern and Southern Sudan.

The campaign focused on promoting unity and peace across the southern provinces such as the Upper Nile during a period marked by political reform efforts following the 1964 civilian revolution. By dedicating a postal series to Southern Sudan, the administration aimed to build national solidarity, highlight regional culture and wildlife, and raise awareness for civil development programs across the area.
