Remarks

[Unsure exactly of locality, but almost certainly present day south sudan. Bahr el jabal historically has been a section of the white nile that starts in Uganga and ends in mid South Sudan. Very far from Congo. The lado people, often known as the Lado enclave are an ethnic group in the Southern Part of South Sudan. Possibly listed as Congo, meaning DRC, because Leopold temporarily held a claim to this region, but gave it up in 1906. https://www.jstor.org/stable/179587 -- Eric Hockridge, 3/30/2023]
