[edit] acholi speakers

Acholi speakers are also in numbers in Southern Sudan and have been persecuted by Northern Sudansese and also seem to be in conflict with Dinka tribes. Many have sought refuge in Australia since about 2000.

[edit] The Joseph Kony Troubles

There are at least ten rebel Acholi armies that plague the Acholi. Joseph Kony's is just the big one. If he is taken by Tanzanian and Ugandan army forces, then eventually it is possible that another problem could develop.

[edit] Population

This article is contradictory - it says the Acholi number 50,000 - then later on that there are hundreds of thousands displaced. Secretlondon 03:36, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Fifty thousand seems like a very low figure. I'll try to find some census figures. --Ezeu 04:11, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I have looked for official census data but found none. I've removed potentially erroneous data in the mean time. --Ezeu 13:26, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I've added in the numbers from Ethnologue, which claim to be from the 1991 Ugandan census, and then a further 45,000 that I assume must be in Sudan or possibly in the diaspora. On a separate note, the history of this article appears to be split with Acholi people after some old cut-and-paste moves, if a passing admin wants to merge histories. - BT 14:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
