The History of Sleeping Sickness in Yimbo Location (Central Nyanza, Kenya) as Told by the Oldest Inhabitants of the Location

Abstract

"Long ago, before the Europeans came, there lived in Yimbo two mighty Luo clans: the Kanyathuon and the Kajongo. Relations between the two clans werestrained because, when the clans conquered Yimbo, the Kajongo had killed off all the original inhabitants and they blamed the Kanyathuon who had spared the lives of the conquered people and allowed them to live quietly among their conquerors. In the clan war which resulted the Kajongo lost battle after battle, for the Kanyathuon, aided by the men whose lives they had spared, were far too strong for them."
