So apparently, it& #39;s believed that Awulian migrated from Bahr-el-Ghazal! Alakiir had two brothers (Akei & Juach, I believe) who were quite handsome but troublesome. They& #39;d date girls & reject them etc. So, they were to be attacked but a good Samaritan told them to migrate! #SSOThttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇸🇸" title="Flagge des Südsudan" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge des Südsudan"> https://twitter.com/Lobiyn_Achien/status/1321263999116140544">https://twitter.com/Lobiyn_Ac...

That night, they left to cross the Nile. Alakiir (like Moses) stood in the middle of the Nile & said "Nä yë wëër dë päküërdä kë yïn ïc kü cö wëtämëthcïë cö tëk kü xën bë döng!" That "if you& #39;re my grandparents& #39; river , then open up & let my brothers pass but I& #39;ll remain!

A path was created across River Nile and the brothers passed then it swallowed Alakiir! Thereafter, she became celebrated for saving her brothers& #39; lives and every 1st daughter is named after her. Almost every household from my clan and section of Awulian has an "Alakiir"https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">
