Achwa River

The fourth one in Top 8 Longest Rivers in South Sudan that Toplist would like to introduce to you is Achwa River. The Achwa River flows through Uganda in eastern Africa. It flows through the country's northern central region, draining much of Uganda's northern plateau and northeastern highlands before crossing into South Sudan and joining the White Nile- a river in Africa that is one of the Nile's two main tributaries, the other being the Blue Nile. It is known as the Aswa River in South Sudan.


The Achwa bridge on Moroto Road is one of the few that has withstood the test of time.

Awere trading center is located on the border of Omoro and Pader Districts.
