  Msri( Egypt ) is recalled by the Luo as a place they lived for many Years.
  South Sudan is where the official accounts of origin point to though the locals refer to the Luo as JUR meaning "Alien" implying a relatively sudden contact with unknown persons. The Chollo whom the luo have adopted their language are refered to this day, by the abusive / derogatory name "Shilluk" Meaning Black.

  Neighbouring Bantu Tribes the Luo in Kenya ( who have intermarried with the luo) all speak of an origin in Msri though Bantu Migratory routes are well documented ~ from the congo forest.

  Fr J.P. Crazzollara 1930's wrote that Luo People have a History that once fairly written up would read like an intruiging novel.

  The Genetic Profile of the southern Egyptian Popluation is 65% southwestern asian an 3% south eastern european. This Makes it More than likely to be true that the Luo people had a Persian origin.

  Tekidi may have been at the base of todays Zagros Mountain range.

  The Luo tribe originates from the Nilotic people who migrated from the Sudan region and settled in the area around Lake Victoria in present-day Kenya and Uganda. They have a rich cultural heritage and are known for their traditions, language, and customs. The Luo tribe has played a significant role in the history and development of East Africa.
  The language of the Luo people in Kenya is also called Luo in English (Kiluo in Swahili). The people of the same tribe across the border in Tanzania are called the Jaluo. There is almost surely a special form for "the Luo language" in Luo, but the answer must come from a contributor who knows Luo.
  A Kenyan tribesman can be referred to by the name of their specific tribe or ethnic group, such as Maasai, Kikuyu, Luo, or Samburu, depending on their background and heritage.
