COMPARITIVE STUDY OF KUKU AND HEBREW CULTURES
M. M. NINAN
Lugwares were defeated and the Kukus took, a lot of Lugwares
as war prisoners. They were given a separate place to live called
Lugware Kater. Lugware .omen were very cunning and they
began to poison Kukus. It is believed that Kukus learned the
concept and the art. of poisoning from these people. Kukus then
realized that this was the curse of Lii. Lii on request caused a
wind and carted them back to Uganda where they settled back in
the present Arrange area. They are there even today. But they
never attacked the Kukus ever again.
13. Chief Yengi.
Even recently when Kioum, the poisoning by women, became
rampant Chief Yengi cursed these women to death. British
colonizers were already in the Sudan with their garrison in
Mangalla. On hearing Yengi's power they brought him into their
camp and interrogated him. Then he .as imprisoned and .as told
to demonstrate his powers. Yengi called on 'his ancestors and it
rained for seven consecutive days without stopping. At the end
of seven days he was asked to stop it. When the British did not
believe that he caused the rain, he opened his palm and
stretched his hand and showed them all sorts of creatures
moving in his palm. There were lions and tigers and snakes and
birds. It is believed that the British feared him and released him
forthwith.
