Jopadhola

The Jopadhola, or Bunaba, are an ethnic group of approximately one-quarter of a million people, who live in the Tororo district of southeastern Uganda (about 2 percent of the country's total population). They are primarily pastoralists. They arrived in the region in the sixteenth century during the Luo migration from southern Sudan, and are related to the Luo and Acholi peoples, rather than to their immediate Bantu-speaking neighbors.
