We, Mundari, also known as “Mandari“ or “Mondare”, we live on the banks of the White Nile in Terekeka State, north of the capital Juba, South Sudan in East Africa. Our name are easily to confused with the Mundari ethnic group of Bangladesh, Nepal and East India in Asia, because both our name are in the same spelling, but in fact the Mundari in Africa and in Asia are totally diffrent.
