The DINKAS are farmers during the rainy season. When the grass dry they abandon their villages and leave together with their great herds to look for pasture. When they find one they settle down in a camp. Since almost 50 years now the war status in the country has contributed to isolate this people from the world. They domestic their animals without any kind of violence sleeping at night all together in a perfect interweaving.

By nightfall, at the AMAK camp, when the herd returns from pasture and night arrangements take place, the smoke of burning dung scares away the insects and augurs tranquil hours.

The DINKAS live for livestock and the livestock for Dinkas. Men and animals cohabit at every camps' spaces, in such a way there is no mutual aggressiveness.
