What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The Alur are a distinct Ugandan community with cultural and linguistic ties extending across the border into the Democratic Republic of Congo, led by a paramount chief, and their homeland around Nebbi and Pakwach sits along the Albert Nile, giving any cultural festival there a cross-border, riverine character distinct from Uganda's Bantu-kingdom festivals further south
