The Kajo-Kajjo, a tribe of the Bahr el Ghazal, were not accustomed to the customs of the Dinka. They were a warlike people, and their raids on the Dinka were frequent. The Dinka, who were a more peaceful people, were not able to defend themselves against the Kajo-Kajjo. The Kajo-Kajjo would steal their cattle, burn their villages, and kill their women and children. The Dinka would then flee to the forests, where they would live as refugees.
