List of Moyo District Vacancies 2024-2025
In recent years the district has stagnated in isolation as the Second Sudanese Civil War raged to the north and the insurgency of the Lord’s Resistance Army made the direct road south to the national capital of Kampala perilous.
The district has hosted a large number of Southern Sudanese refugees who fled the fighting in their country. The 2005 Sudanese peace agreement and reduced activities of the LRA have raised hopes that Moyo District will again become the prosperous transit area for cross-border trade that it once was.
