Oropom People
The Oropom (also known as Iworopom, Oworopom, Oyoropom or Oropoi) are the aboriginal inhabitants of much of Karamoja in Uganda and probably Turkana District in Kenya. Their descendants have largely been assimilated into the more recently arrived Iteso and Karamojong groups. They are or were found in scattered pockets between the Turkwel River, Chemorongit Mountains and Mt. Elgon. One report indicates that they formerly spoke the unclassified Oropom language.

Famous quotes containing the word people:
“What it comes down to is this: the grocer, the butcher, the baker, the merchant, the landlord, the druggist, the liquor dealer, the policeman, the doctor, the city father and the politician—these are the people who make money out of prostitution, these are the real reapers of the wages of sin.”
—Polly Adler (1900–1962)
