Twic east is a community in Jonglei state, South Sudan. It is in Kongor Payam in Twic East County. Twic east is in Dinka territory. The village is to the east of the White Nile and about north of Bor. The area is subject to flood and drought depending on the season. The people are pastoralists, with an economy based on cattle which demands seasonal migration in search of good pasture. Twic east was to become a diocese of the Anglican Episcopal Church of Sudan, to be split out from Bor Diocese. There were delays, and in April 2009 the clergy unilaterally declared that Kongor was a diocese in a letter to the Rt. Reverend Nathaniel Garang Anyieth, Bishop of Bor Diocese. The root of the problem was insistence on the name "Kongor" for the diocese, while the other seven ''payams'' in Twic East county preferred the name "Twic East". The early activist leader Joseph Oduho, one of the founders of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), was killed during a fight that broke out between SPLM factions at a meeting in Kongor on 27 March 1993. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kongor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
