Aru Territory
Aru Territory, at the northern tip of DR Congo's Ituri province on the borders with Uganda and South Sudan, is a cross-border trading zone where merchants from three countries converge on Ariwara — the territory's economic hub — to exchange cattle, manufactured goods, and other products. The territory was largely spared the worst violence of the 1998–2006 Congo war, attributed in part to its long tradition of inter-tribal coexistence. A small airport serves the area; Aru Town is the administrative capital.
