Footnote 7 in the section discussing religion relates to a community in South America who are also called Bari, but it is not relevant to the Bari of South Sudan. Please correct this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wani74 (talk • contribs) 02:30, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Livingston & Stanley[edit]

the so-called meeting between Dr. David Livingston and Henry Stanley in Gondokoro (village) never happened. Dr. Livingston was on a expedition to discover the the source of the Nile river. while the Nile (Blue and White) does indeed pass through Bari lands like Juba, the source of the nile is much further south and definitely not in Sudan. I am deleting the entire section. — la gaie 04:19, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

La gaie: If you dispute the meeting between Dr Livingston and Henry Stanley, I do not see how you justified deleting the rest of the script. It appears that you misunderstood the usage of "gateway". There was no where in the the narative indicating that Gondokoro was the source of the Nile! So I have reinserted the description pertaining to the towns in the Bari Land. — Loro LoLaja Kujjo 04:45, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. I misunderstood. — la gaie 21:12, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To do list[edit]

I've removed the cleanup tag and placed the "More topics on the Bari of the Nile" list here

clans, and totems
Birth of a child (Names, outing, etc)
Taboos
Legendary Figures Among the Bari, e.g. Pitia Lugor (the Rain God). Softgrow 21:57, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Religion, Any people that are well known among the Bari (Any special clan leader etc) Sugarpop2301 (talk) 05:55, 17 September 2020 (UTC)Sugarpop2301[reply]

I am adding in a paragraph about the religion. There will be information about various ceremonies and sacrifices the Bari made with what they meant. Sugarpop2301

Karo people (East Africa)[edit]

Pojulu, Bari, Kuku, Nyangwara, Kakwa and Mundari are all part of Karo people (East Africa). It is a misnomer to call them 'Bari-speaking'. Trying to put things into their proper perspectives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ewudu (talk • contribs) 07:09, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[copied from that article's talk page]

So this the work of Luka Monoja. So the Bari-speakers don't like the term "Bari"? Is that's why it's the official of Central Equatoria State now? la gaie (talk) 20:22, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merged. I forgot about this. — kwami (talk) 22:21, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Karo is more current in Uganda. Bari is more current in South Sudan. They refer to the same macroethnicity. Bari is much more common outside East Africa and is almost always used for the language group. As far as I know, neither name is controversial. There is a Bari proper in Equatoria so the issue might be nascent separatism in the smaller tribes. -- Lestadii27 (talk) 18:42, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
