- Moru_people abstract "Moru is an ethnic group of South Sudan. Most of them live in Equatoria. They speak Moru, a Central Sudanic language. Many members of this ethnicity are Christians, most being members of the Episcopal Church of the Sudan (ECS). The Pioneer missionary in the area was Dr Kenneth Grant Fraser of the Church Missionary Society (CMS). The population of this ethnicity possibly does not exceed 100,000.The Moru are known to be the most educated tribe in the Equatoria Region following the example set by the work of the pioneer missionary Dr Kenneth Grant Fraser. The large number of Moru people who have become medical doctors, medical assistants, and medical nurses is a tribute to the depth and effectiveness of Dr Fraser's Christian witness as a medical doctor. Fraser had a deep personal impact on the Moru people who still greatly revere him to this day.The Moru, who belong to the ethnic group which includes the Madi, Lugbara, Avokaya and Logo of Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo, live in the southern part of Mundri County, Equatoria Region, South Sudan. Mundri County is located in Central Western part of Equatoria Region in Western Equatoria Province. It is between 4°N and 6°N of Equator and 29°E and 31°E. There are five main divisions of the Moru, namely: Miza; Ägyi; Moroändri; Kediro and 'Bali'ba, who each live in a distinct area and have their own dialectical differences. Other partial divisions can also be recognised.The northern part of Mundri County is inhabited by the Jur cluster, which includes the Beli, Sopi, Mödö, Nyamusa, Wira, Biti and Morokodo. Although they are often erroneously classified as Moru they form a distinct language group, more closely related to the Bongo and Baka. The Moru have received the most attention in the past and Moru Miza was the vernacular used in education and the church throughout the district.Settlement is in extended family groups surrounded by their gardens. These families are linked together into clans under headmen and sub-chiefs, but there are few physical concentrations of villages. The term village is generally used to describe the people who relate to one centre.".
