Context (Amendments / updates)
Between 1898 and 1914, the area on the east bank of the White Nile, south of the 5th parallel was annexed to the Uganda Protectorate. The area north of the 5th parallel was included in Mongalla Province of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. In 1914, the boundary between Sudan and Uganda was rectified and the region south of the 5th parallel (including Bari, Lulubo, Lokoya and Otuho cultural groups) was transferred to Sudan. The place field has been updated to ‘South Sudan’. At the time the object was acquired the area was administered by Uganda, but it is now part of South Sudan.
