Pubungu

Pubungu, near the Nile below Lake Albert, occupies a prominent place in the traditions of Luo-speaking peoples. It is remembered as a stopping place from which groups dispersed in different directions. One well-known story tells of a quarrel between the brothers Gipir and Labongo over a spear and a bead. Their separation sent Gipir west of the river, while Labongo's followers took another path. The story links the histories of the Alur and Acholi to a shared place on the Nile.
