The Dinka People are the world’s tallest and darkest people

The Dinka People From South Sudan are the tallest tribe in the World.

The Dinka people, a Nilotic tribe from South Sudan are known as some of the tallest people in Africa and in the world. They live along the Nile and Dinka Ngok of Abyei Area in South Sudan.

According to oral traditions, the tribe originated from the Gezira in a place that is now known as Sudan. It should be noted that the Dinka people live mostly on farmland as they depend mostly on livestock for their livelihood.

The population census conducted in 2008 in Sudan showed that the Dinka people are about 4.5 million in numbers, putting that at 18% of the country’s population and the biggest tribe in the nation.

Their average male height is 182.6cm which is 5ft 11.9 inches according to a survey done among 52 Dinka men between 1953 to 1954. In 1995, another survey showed it to be 5ft 9.4in.

Their men wear a blue indigo veil as a protective measure to keep their face safe from the dust of the desert. The tribe never dumped their tradition of allowing men to wear veil instead of women despite their adoption of Islam.
In the case of divorce, the women get to keep all the tents and the animals as the man is chased out to return to his mother’s home with just a camel in his possession.

Also, whenever the women divorce their husbands, their mothers will throw them a party so that other men can know they are now available for new relationships.
One of the things that are beautiful about the tribe is that they have dignity and they will never ask for things like water if they are not offered.
