Torit is a city in South Sudan that is the headquarters of Torit County in Eastern Equatoria State. The Equitoria Corps mutinied in Torit after independence rather than be removed to Khartoum and Arab control, starting the first civil war in Sudan. On August 18, 1955, the Torit mutiny began in Eastern Equatoria.
