The Shilluk (Shill: Chollo) are a major Luo Nilotic people of Southern Sudan, living on both banks of the river Nile, in the vicinity of the city of Malakal. Before the second Sudanese civil war the Shilluk also lived in a number of settlements on the northern bank of the Sobat River, close to where the Sobat joins the Nile, with Doleib Hill as an important mission station. Doleib Hill mission has ceased after Nuer armed militia Jiech Mabor and Dr. Riek Machar's rebels stormed Doleib and burned Shilluk villages, and looted Shilluk (Chollo) community properties in 1987, 1997, 2013 and 2014 (by Dr. Riek Machar's rebels).
