Akobo is a town in Eastern Equatoria State, South Sudan, located in the southeastern part of the country, near the Ethiopian border. It is situated on the banks of the Akobo River in a savannah climate zone with distinct wet and dry seasons and high average annual temperatures.
Akobo's economy is based on agriculture and border trade, and the local population tends to engage in subsistence farming, growing crops such as sorghum and corn. Due to its remote location, infrastructure is relatively rudimentary, but border trade brings some vitality to the town.
Akobo's population is predominantly indigenous tribes with rich cultural traditions and tightly knit communities. Despite the slow development of the town due to the civil war in South Sudan, the residents have remained resilient.
