Communities in Kibale Forest National Park

Toro people

Also known as Batoro, Toro people are part of the dominant Bantu ethnic group in Uganda. Batoro speak the the Rutoro language, which is similar to the Runyoro of Banyoro people. They live between the area of Lakes Albert and Edward. Batoro belong to the Toro Kingdom which covers districts of Fort Portal, Kamwenge, Kabarole, Kyenjojo and Kyegwegwa. Toro Kingdom is believed to have originated from Bunyoro Kingdom. A myth has it that the formation of the Kingdom was as a result of Omukama Kaboyo Kansunsunkwanzi Olimi I rebellion against his father’s Kingdom. Kaboyo’s father was Omukama Kyebambe III, King of Bunyoro. Kaboyo moved to the southern part of his father’s Kingdom and placed a boundary that separated his new Kingdom with that of his father. Kaboyo had visited the current Toro Kingdom area several times as he collected tax and checked on his father’s herds of cattle. He was obsessed by the way the people there treated him with much love. He then organized a group of influential men, who played a big role in the annexation of the current Toro. Kaboyo had two sisters who lived in the area he was planning to take over. Mpanja and Batebe, sisters to Kaboyo got to learn about their brother’s rebellion. They reported to their father Omukama Kyebambe who did not believe what they had told him about his son’s plans. Kaboyo quickly asked his father to grant him permission to return to the area of current Toro in pretense that his wife was going to deliver babies soon and he needed to be there. Kaboyo never returned to his father’s palace, and when Omukama Kyebambe died, the chiefs sent for Kaboyo to make him the new Omukama. However, Kaboyo refused to become the Omukama of Bunyoro saying that he already had his people to take care of hence the formation of Toro Kingdom. Besides language, some of the traditions that Toro shares with Bunyoro include the use of pet names which are locally known as Empaako. The word empaako is derived from the Luo babiito language which means ‘praise’.By addressing a person by their empaako, it is a way of showing positive affirmation of your social ties with them. It is a means of showing respect to one another and can break tension or anger since it sends a strong message of social identity, unity, peace and reconciliation. It is also used as a greeting or declaration of affection. Empaako’s were inscribed as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization intangible heritage in 2013. The empaako’s include Amooti, Abwooli, Atwooki, Akiiki, Adyeeri, Apuuli, Ateenyi, Araali, Acaali, Abooki, Bbala and Okaali. Each empaako has a different meaning and is assigned to an individual by a clan head upon birth. For example, Abooki means ‘I have narrated to you’; Abooli means ‘I have lied to you’; Ateenyi means ‘I have left you’ and Adyeeri means ‘I am your friend’. Okaali is the only pet name reserved for the Omukama, not to be used by any other ordinary person. The Batoro are agriculturalists, cultivating crops such as bananas, Irish potatoes, millet (staple food), sorghum, peas and many other crops. The Batoro are also cattle keepers. Cattle is a very important aspect in the Toro community as it determines ones status in the community. It is regarded as wealth, whereby the more cattle one has, the wealthier he is regarded. They believe in Ruhanga, a Rutoro/Runyoro word meaning creator or God.Marriage is also an important aspect among the Batoro. Locally known as ‘okuswera’, marriagewas traditionally arranged by the boy’s father. He sent an informant locally known as ‘Kibonabuko’ (in-law seeker), to go and investigate about the girls behavior, looks, health, family and many other aspects. If the informant was satisfactory with everything about the girl, he would go back to the boy’s father and make a good report about the girl. The boy’s father would then go to the girls family and ask for their daughters hand in marriage on behalf of his son. Upon mutual agreement, bride price preparations would then be made. Locally, bride price is known as ‘Omukaaga’ which literally means six. After bride price was handed over to the bride, the girl would move to the boys residence and was regarded as a slave to her husband. However, before she left her parents’ home, the girl wasrequired to perform a ritual known as okubukara. She has to sit on her parents lap. The ritual was meant to initiate her into an adult and wish her luck in the marriage. Upon reaching the males home, she was to sit on the lapsof the boy’s parents. This ritual meant that she had got new parents. Bride price in form of cattlewas to be paid to the girls family. If the girl is found a virgin duringher first sexual intercourse with her husband locally known as okucwa amagita (breaking the water), an extra cow was given to the her mother thanking her for raising her child well.

Black and white colobus monkeys are endemic in higher density logged forests. However, they also live in riverine forests and wood grassland.

Newborns are completely white and are taken care of by only the mother.
