The Azande Kingdom is in Western Equatorial State, near the DR Congo border. They are from the Bantu group and their language is similar to the other Bantu languages. Approximately five dialects of Azande are spoken throughout the area they occupy.
The word azande means “the people who possess much land”. This relates to their history as conquering warriors. In the political terms, this ethnic group of about 750,000 people is ruled by a king with succession to the throne which is passed to his eldest son.
On February 9, 2022, AtorobaPeniRikitoGbudue was installed as king of Azande for the first time in more than 100 years after the death of King Gbudue in 1905.
