The Dinka are the inhabitants of South-Western Sudan, the exact location being named Bahr-el-Ghazal. There are an agricultural people, their main focus being on cattle farming. Their lifestyle is dependent upon the cattle and the products derived from the cattle. They are traditional people, still living, for the most part, in their classical style of historical Sudanese inhabitants. The Dinka seemingly did not practice the Jihad form of Islam, and thus were persecuted and enslaved by those who do practice the Jihad persuasion of Islam. Although not an entirely new issue, it has come to be known moreso internationally since the Sudan Peace Act was signed in October of 2002.
