Who they are
The Burun, also known as Lange, are an indigenous Nilotic people living mainly in the Blue Nile region of Sudan. Traditionally engaged in farming and livestock rearing, they maintain strong community ties and a distinct cultural identity passed down through their mother tongue. Geographic isolation and decades of regional instability have left the Burun communities with very little contact with the gospel.
