History of the Anywaa People

The Anywaa people used to live together in the past before we were geographically divided between Ethiopia and South Sudan. Despite their geographical separation by the two countries, the Anywaa people of the countries share a common culture and language. ACM wants to connect people and preserve our rich history.

FAQs

The members of the Anywaa community from both countries started arriving in the Twin Cities in 1990s. Most of them settle in the seven counties in the Greater Twin Cities area. Our community is made up of thousands of Ethiopian or Sudanese people. Let's unite together for a better life!
