In "A Long Walk to Water," the two tribes are the Dinka and the Nuer. The story follows characters from these tribes, highlighting their experiences during the civil war in South Sudan. The Dinka are represented by Salva, while Nya belongs to the Nuer tribe. The novel explores the impact of conflict on their lives and the resilience they show in the face of adversity.
The Dinka and Nuer tribes are two prominent ethnic groups in South Sudan, each with distinct cultural practices, languages, and social structures. The Dinka are known for their cattle herding and matrilineal traditions, while the Nuer are also pastoralists but have a more egalitarian social structure. Historically, both groups have engaged in conflicts over resources, particularly land and water, but they also share linguistic and cultural similarities. Their differences are often highlighted in their unique customs, rituals, and political organization.
The two conflicts are different and based in different issues.The primary conflict over the previous decades was between the Sudanese government in Khartoum, which espoused an Arab-Supremacist and Muslim-Supremacist Policy and the South Sudanese tribes which were Black African Christians. That conflict did indeed end with the independence of South Sudan. (The Darfur Conflict/Genocide, which was caused for the same Arab-Supremacist reasons, even though Darfurians are Muslims, continued because Darfur is not part of South Sudan.)The current conflict is a conflict between the two largest Black African tribal groups, the Dinka, who are the majority and represented by South Sudanese President Salva Kiir Mayardit, and the Nuer ethnic group. The Nuer feel that the Dinka-led government is working insufficiently to protect the property of the Nuer and so the Nuer are fighting for the preservation of their livelihoods. The Dinka-led government has attempted to protect Nuer rights, but has been attacked by the Nuer White Army in several incidents.
The conflict between the Nuer and Dinka tribes in South Sudan is rooted in competition over resources, such as land and water, as well as historical rivalries and power struggles. This conflict has been exacerbated by political manipulation, ethnic discrimination, and the availability of weapons, leading to cycles of violence and revenge attacks between the two groups. Efforts to address and resolve the conflict have been challenging due to deep-seated grievances and a lack of trust between the communities.

South Sudan is home to approximately 64 distinct ethnic groups, though some sources may mention 62. The major tribes include the Dinka, Nuer, Shilluk, and Bari, among others. Other tribes include the Zande, Murle, Anuak, and many smaller groups, each with its unique culture and language. The diversity of tribes contributes to the rich cultural tapestry of the nation.

In "A Long Walk to Water," Salva's perspective on the Nuer evolves significantly throughout the story. Initially, he views them with fear and distrust due to the longstanding conflict between his Dinka tribe and the Nuer. However, as he faces hardships and learns the importance of unity and survival, he begins to see them as fellow human beings rather than enemies. This shift reflects his growth and the broader theme of compassion and understanding in the face of adversity.
