Ker Kwaro Acholi | The Official Royal Acholi Customary Ruler
The Acholi people (also spelled Acoli) are a Nilotic ethnic group of Luo peoples (also spelled Lwo). The Acholi are termed as the 'Acholi tribe'. They are found in Uganda and South Sudan (They occupy a trans-border area of Uganda and South Sudan which is now commonly referred to as Acholiland). In Uganda they occupy the districts of Agago, Amuru, Gulu, Kitgum, Nwoya, Lamwo, Pader and Omoro with an estimated population of 1.9 Million. While in South Sudan they occupy the county of Magwi in the Eastern Equatoria state and have a total estimated population of about 50000. The Acholi are customarily led by chiefs with their own chiefdoms who in turn are headed by an overall chief known as 'Lawir Rwodi' which translates to mean the chief of chiefs and officially shortened as the Paramount Chief of Acholi.
Ker Kwaro Acholi is the royal customary throne of the paramount chief of Acholi, which can be translated as the seat of the chief of all chiefs of Acholi.
