Draft:Dual Diu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dual Diu (c. 1882–1968) was a Nuer prophet, a successor, and a son of nineteenth-century Nuer people prophet Deng Laka.[1] He was seized by the spirit of divinity Diu after his father.[2][3] Dual was known to have a good relationship with Percy Coriat, the Gawaar, and Lou Nuer district commissioner, unlike his counterpart, Gwek Ngundeng, whose relationship with the colonial government seen major up and down which led to his death in 1929. His friendship with Coriat was displayed in the letters sent to Khartoum in which the government had some reservations about action against Dual during the hostilities against Gwek and the Nuer.[4]
