The Mberidi (Shilluk Group) and Mbegumba (Basiri Group) of the Bahr-el-Ghazal

Abstract

npHE tribes of the Bahr-el-Ghazal present the appearance of a routed army. They have been scattered over the Nile-Uelle Divide and in this dispersion numerous tribal units, often consisting of only a few families, have been cut off from the main body and swept permanently out of touch with men of their own language and blood. Some peoples have disappeared altogether as political and cultural units and survived only in tradition, e.g., Bangbinda, Abarambo, Mittu, etc. Many tribes have been carried before waves of Zande invasion on to distant strands
