In this video, we will walk though Gulu, Uganda, the capital of the country's Northern region. This area was once terrorized by Joseph Kony, and his Lords Resistance Army (LRA) rebel group. But now, it has developed into a surprisingly clean and organized city.

The Luo including the Luo Acholi of Gulu Uganda are diasporic(at least 20million spread out roughly 9 territories) and settled thousands years with skilled warriors(e.g Owiny and Lwanda Magere) through conquest, intermarriage and assimilation e.g Luo-Suba in Kenya, Tanzania and Luo-Babito/Luo-Langi in Uganda with tendencies for large families thanks to history of polygamy in the past like all other AFRO groups . The Luo conquered several kingdoms in the past through their southward movement and contributed to banyarwanda tutsi southwest movement to present day Rwanda/Congo, influencing rulership for Luo-babito and Baganda Kingdoms in Uganda .

No, that's a normal price when you are buying large tracts of undeveloped agricultural land. You can even find it in the U.S. The more acres you buy at once, the lower the price. This isn't for people who just want to buy 2 or 3 acres, it's for people who buy 500 -1000 acres or more.
