The Jiye and Toposa of Eastern Equatoria in South Sudan are found juxtaposed to the North East of Kapoeta and are inextricably connected to each other and Nyangatom of Ethiopia. The Jiye do not have an elaborate religious belief system. They, however, believe in the existence of a supreme being and the spirits of the departed ancestors. They pray and make sacrifices for these spirits as they communicate with them through a medium (fortune teller or medicine person) usually during times of serious disaster, for example, droughts, affecting their animals.The most important social events that bring the Jiye together in celebrations include marriage, hunting, cattle raids, and warfare. The Jiye share certain totems and body marks. The male adults attend meetings, gatherings and functions in which important decisions concerning the clan or whole community are made. Respect for the elders among the Jiye is mandatory for the younger generations.
