Kerubino Kuanyin Bol (1948 – 9 September 1999) was a Sudanese rebel leader who was one of the founders of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) and one of the leaders of the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) during the Second Sudanese Civil War and was said to have fired the first shot in the war.

[1] In 1993, after being released, Bol's forces joined the SPLA splinter group SPLA-Nasir led by Riek Machar.

[2] Bol was born in 1948 to Dinka parents in Twic County, Bahr al Ghazal province in the west of present-day South Sudan.

In June 1983, John Garang, a Sudanese Army colonel and future leader of the SPLA, joined the mutiny of the garrison in Bor.

[6] On 5 April 1993, at a press conference in Nairobi, three rebel factions – including SPLA-Nasir (led by Lam Akol and joined by Machar and Bany) – announced a coalition, to be called "Sudanese People's Liberation Army-United", known as SPLA-United.

[8] The Sudan government tried to make Bol a leader in his home province, but he was not successful in gaining support of the local Dinka, and members of his militia returned to their villages.
