The Keliko or Kaliko are an ethnic group in South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with immigrants in Uganda. Most members of the Keliko are Christians. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, they are called kaliko umi, more especially from Laibo, Mado, awubha awuzi and so on. There is a slight pronousation between Kaliko people in South Sudan and those in the DRC.[citation needed]

They speak the Keliko language, which is a Nilo-Saharan language. The population of the Keliko likely exceeds 10,000.[1]

The Keliko people live in Lújúlē and Ūdábī payams west of Morobo County, Central Equatoria State (CES) and in Ūmbãci in Yei County, CES, South Sudan. Some are also in the DR Congo and Uganda.[2] The Keliko people have a motto that says "trú álõ bã 'orá", which means "together we can".

The Wycliffe Bible Translators, in the Fall of 2018, gave and dedicated to the Keliko People a translation of the New Testament in their own language. There were 1000 translated New Testaments distributed.[3]

The Keliko Culture edit

The Keliko people are an ethnic group in South Sudan, primarily located in the Central Equatoria region. They have a unique culture that is deeply rooted in their history, traditions, and beliefs.

One of the most important aspects of Keliko culture is their social organization. The Keliko people are divided into clans, each with its own leader and specific responsibilities. They also have a traditional leadership system, where the elders play a vital role in decision-making and conflict resolution.

The Keliko people are known for their hospitality and generosity towards their guests. They have a strong sense of community and often come together for important events such as weddings, funerals, and religious celebrations.

Religion plays a significant role in Keliko culture, with the majority of the population being Christian or adhering to traditional beliefs. They have a strong belief in the afterlife and the importance of honoring their ancestors.

The Keliko people are also known for their traditional dances and music, which are an integral part of their cultural celebrations. They use instruments such as drums, harps, and flutes to create rhythmic and melodic sounds that reflect their cultural identity.

Like many other ethnic groups in South Sudan, the Keliko people have faced challenges in recent years due to conflict and displacement. However, they continue to preserve their cultural heritage and maintain their traditional way of life despite these difficulties.

The Keliko people are predominantly farmers and their traditional way of life revolves around agriculture, hunting, and fishing. They cultivate crops such as cassava,
