Avukaya people

Many members of this ethnic group belong to the Christian minority of South Sudan.

The Avukaya traditionally live in a rain-forest area in Equatoria close to the Democratic Republic of Congo in Southern Sudan.

Historically, the Avokaya people are originally in Maridi town, Mambe, Bahr-Olo and Amaki.

The Avokaya are the group of ethnic tribes that combined with the Moru on the mountains to put an end to the King Gbudwe of the Azande invasion of their territory.

The Avukaya commonly enjoy Pirinda with Nyasa (food made of sorghum or millet or cassava flour).
