Morobo is one of the six counties in Central Equatoria state, South Sudan.[2]
[3] Morobo County borders Uganda and Congo. The county is mainly occupied by Kakwa speaking people, Keliko and Lugbara. The people in Morobo are local farmers working for food. Morobo is part of the green belt and also acts as a breadbasket for Yei and Juba.[4]
There has been sporadic violence in Morobo County since the establishment of South Sudan at the end of the Second Sudanese Civil War.[4] The UN is working with locals to address these issues.[5]
Joseph Mawa is the current commissioner of Morobo County.[6]
