The Ugandan Nubians, alternatively known as Nubis or Nubi, are a people who traditionally live in northern Uganda, and generally include those who identify as Nubians. In addition, the Nubian identity is also linked to ethnical, linguistical, cultural, and societal elements, but these do not apply to all Ugandan Nubians.
In 2009, it was estimated that around 15,000 Nubians live in Uganda,[2] with one of their main population centres in the town of Bombo.[3] They are recognized as a native ethnic group by the Constitution of Uganda.[4] In addition, a distinct people of Nubians with a related history live in Kenya.[5] The Kenyan Nubis number 21,319 people according to the latest 2019 census.[6]
