%X The article is a description of theories of origin, migration and development of the Luo people¡¯s governing system of kingdoms and chiefdoms in South Sudan and Eastern Africa. The narrative aims to highlight the traditional beliefs of the historical background which will be led by three questions: who are the Luo people, and where did they use to live? What caused their separation and migrations and where have they ended up today? What kind of governing system controls their affairs today? The article also explains briefly the influences of the Luo people throughout the history of South Sudan and the East African communities, and their influence internally, regionally and globally.<br />
