Ikotos County
Ikwoto County was an administrative area in the Eastern Equatoria state of South Sudan with headquarters in the town of Ikwoto. The people, who live in the former county's area by subsistence agriculture and cattle herding, are poverty-stricken. Years of civil war have made violence commonplace: most people have experienced the murder of a close family member. In 2009, AK-47 rifles were used in 42 per cent of killings.
