Quote: The first time the Messeriyya claimed the ownership of the present area inhabited by the Ngok Dinka was after the bloody conflict of March 1965, along Ngol/Ragaba ez-Zarga, between the Ngok Dinka and the Messeriyya Baggara (see Abdel Basit Saeed, “The State and Socioeconomic Transformation: The Case of Social Conflict in Southwest Kordofan”, PhD dissertation, University of Connecticut, 1982). The story is based on some concocted story, which says that the Messeriyya Humr came to the area before the Ngok Dinka. They also claimed that when Ngok arrived in the vicinity, they put up at point south of the River Kiir/Bahr-el-Arab called Abu Nafiesa/Akur. The so-called Abu Nafiesa was supposed to be a Messeriyya chief who died in that place. The Messeriyya further claimed that it was Nazir Ali Julla who permitted the Ngok Dinka to cross the River/Kiir/Bahr-el-Arab to the north in 1905, at the request of Arob Biong. The cause for Arob Biong for crossing is alleged to be successive raids by Twic Dinka on Ngok Dinka. The author states, “Nazir Baboo Nimir of the Humur claimed in a Conference in March 1966 that it was his father, Nazir Nimir Ali Julla who, in the view of this attacks, permitted the Ngok in 1939 to move even further north into a place known as Regaba Zarga.”
