Unity • Culture • Development
We, the Walok Generations, are committed to transforming future generations by strengthening our identity as Walok and cultivating transformational leadership. This leadership is rooted in the political authority of the land where our forefathers were born and lived, ensuring that our community remains united and self-determined. Our ancestors first settled this land in 1817, when our leader Lajour Diyian guided all the Jikan from Bentiu Nuer land to Eastern Jikany, now known as Gaat Gaan Kiir Land. The Walok people are direct descendants of Kiir, preserving both the heritage and lineage of our forefathers. Timeline of Jikany Migration: In 1815, the Jikany began leaving Bentiu after Lajour discovered new land in the East Nuer territory. They initially settled in Maluau. In 1816, they divided into two groups. By 1817, some consolidated in Eastern Jikany (Gaat Gaan Kiir Land). In 1819, the Gaajiok subgroup remained in Maluau. In 1870, the Gaajaak moved northeast to Yomdoor. By 1890, Chie_Lang moved southeast of the Sobate River. During this period, Duath Geng tragically died in Biel after being struck by lightning. This timeline preserves the memory of our ancestors’ migrations and the establishment of the Walok Generations. It guides our identity, inspires leadership, and reminds future generations of their heritage, responsibilities, and the strength of our community.
