ABSTRACT
This group consists of the Nyangwara, Fajulu, Kakwa, Kuku, and Nyefu. The Liggi mentioned by Emin and Junker have become scattered and assimilated with the Kakwa, Fajulu, and Nyangwara and have lost their tribal identity. The group presents special problems. Unlike the other groups its tribes have quite definite memories of movement. It seems quite certain that they have moved up from the Nile Valley, probably in the order given above originally, though there was later overlapping. All speak Bari dialects and are mutually intelligible. In varying degrees they all exhibit elements of Bari culture, weakest in the Nyangwara, increasing progressively through the Fajulu and Kakwa to the Kuku. Bari tradition is definite that formerly the Fajulu and Luluba dwelt together around Shindiru among the Bari, and that when, about twelve generations ago, the Bari drove them out the Luluba fled to their present hills while the Fajulu moved across the river.
