History

Established in 1997 as Territory Dependent on the Patriarch of Egypt and Sudan, countries previously without proper Ordinary of the particular church sui iuris, pastorally administered as a Patriarchal vicariate and from 1991 as Patriarchal exarchate, all pre-diocesan types of Eastern Catholic jurisdiction.
Renamed in 2013 as Territory Dependent on the Patriarch of Egypt, Sudan and South Sudan after the last country seceded from Sudan, so retaining its territory.
Although the Ordinary's rank of protosyncellus technically doesn't require a bishop, even the precursors were episcopal.
