Location
Acholiland or "Acholi-land" (also known as the Acholi sub-region) is an inexact term that refers to the region traditionally inhabited by the Acholi. It is composed of the districts of:
- Agago
- Amuru
- Gulu
- Kitgum
- Lamwo
- Nwoya
- Pader
It encompasses about 28,500 km2 (11,000 square miles) near the Uganda-Sudan border.
Its current population is estimated to be around 600,000 individuals or four per cent of the total national population. While Acholi also live north of the South Sudanese border, the Sudanese Acholi are often excluded from the political meaning of the term "Acholiland".
