From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A boma is a lowest-level administrative division, below payams, in South Sudan. Equivalent fifth-level divisions elsewhere are described as village, block or ward.[1] As of 2009, South Sudan's 514 payams have an average of 4.2 bomas each.[2] Bomas vary in size and typically contain many individual villages.[3] The term boma originated from the town of Boma in Jonglei, the first place captured by the Sudan People's Liberation Army at the start of its 1983 insurgency.[1]
