The Story

The Ayual is a community within the Dinka tribe located in Southern Sudan's Jonglei State, Twic East County. The Ayual belong to the Nyuak (Wangulei) Payam along with the Awulian and Dacuek clans. The Ayual is a community with a complex culture of beliefs, traditions, customs, norm and values. Among the most solemn community activities are wrestling, dancing, marriage and worship. Animals, crops and fish are the main source of livelihood.

Like many other communities in South Sudan, the Ayual have suffered as a result of Sudan's 21 year civil war between the Sudan People's Liberation Movement and the Northern Islamic government. Almost half of the Ayual population died during this war, which killed over 2 million and displaced over 4 million South Sudanese. Many of the Ayual community's social, health and economic infrastructures have been destroyed.
