Lado is a small settlement in Central Equatoria in South Sudan, on the west bank of the White Nile. It is situated north of the modern-day city of Juba.
When General Gordon was appointed governor of the Egyptian territory of Equatoria in 1874, he moved his capital from Gondokoro to Lado, which had a healthier climate. [1] In 1878 Emin Pasha was appointed Bey of Equatoria, then nominally under Egyptian control, with his base at Lado. [2] At one point the settlement was capital of the Lado Enclave. [3] Travelling through Africa, Russian explorer Wilhelm Junker stayed in Lado in 1884, and wrote complimentarily of its brick buildings and neat streets. [4]
