War with the north:
Dinka's religious beliefs and lifestyle have led to conflict with the Islamic Government in Khartoum. The Sudan's people Liberation Army (SPLA), led by late Dr. John garang, a Dinka, took arms against the Govt. in 1983. During the subsequent 21 year civil war many thousands of Dinka, along with fellow non-Dinka southerners , were massacared by Govt. forces. The Dinka have also engaged in a separate civil war with the Nuer.
In Nov. 15 , 1991, the Bor massacre took place in Southern Sudan , triggered by a coup declaration against the then SPLA chairman the late dr. John gara
ng , on Aug 28, 1991, by the current vice-president of the govt. of Southern Sudan, Dr. Rick Machar. Dr. Machar 's forces killed 500 civilians in bor and wounded the same number in the course of two months . Immediately after came famine since Machar forces looted and burned villages and raided cattle. 
Another 25,000 people died as a result , according to Amnesty International. Dr. Rickdescrbed the incident as propaganda and myth despite horrific evidence of mass killing shown by bones and corpses in the aftermath of the massacre.
