Angakuei is arguably the largest of all the tribal groups in Dinka Bor, and is divided into about 7 subsections namely: Leek Ajak, Kwai Ajak ( H.E Abel Alier is from this subsection), Deng Ajak (commonly known as Nyang Deng Ajak), Hol (also known Kuot Kut), Lith, Dongduor, Pen, and Akuak (the riverine section of Angakuei). The first three subsections of Angakuei (Leek, Kwai and Deng) are named after the sons of Ajak Thiong and Nyiel-Aguet Angoh, with Leek being the eldest of the three, Kwai being the second and Deng as the last born.

This order may confuse some people because others believe that ] isn’t Ajak’s biologically son despite being the first born. It’s believed that Nyiel-Aguet was already pregnant before she wasn’t married to Ajak Thiong
