Opo is an ethnic group ofSouth Sudan andEthiopia. They speakOpuuo, aKoman language. Most members of this ethnic group are not Muslims.
The 2007 Census of Ethiopia[1] lists 1,602 individuals as Upo (413 in theSouthern Nations, Nationalities, and People's Region (SNNPR) and 990 in theGambela Region). However, the 1994 census records 271 members of whom 224 lived in theOromia Region (mostly in theMirab Shewa Zone), 38 in the SNNPR, and less than ten in either of the other Regions closest to Sudan.[2] A 2014 source placed the population at around 2,000.[3]
Most Opo adhere toProtestant Christianity though traditional beliefs are still prevalent among the community.[3]
