Alur are an ethnic group who live mainly in the Nebbi, Zombo, and Arua districts in northwestern Uganda, but also in northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, north of Lake Albert. They are part of the larger Luo group, and their language is closely related to Acholi. Some Alur speak Lendu.
The Alur Chiefdom is probably the only one that was unaffected by the Ugandan ban on traditional monarchies in 1966.[1]
