The name is reminiscent of the Banu Haliya of the Judhamites who inhabited the eastern Huf of Egypt. Some references add that the Banu Haliya currently live in South Darfur. Similarly, in addition to the Banu Haliya, there is another branch of the Baqqara tribes, the Banu Hibana or Hibaniyya, most of whom are in Darfur. The Hibaniyya, or Banu Hibban, are a clan of Lahm whose dwellings were in the eastern Huf in Upper Egypt. Some references trace the word Hibaniyya in Sudan to Hibaniyya. Whatever the case, there are many tribes in Sudan that trace their lineage to Lahm. In addition to the two previous clans, Banu Haliya and Hibana, there is another clan, the Tha'aliba, who form a large part of one of the Baqqara tribes called the Masiriyya, which currently lives in the Kordofan region of western Sudan. Some genealogists in Sudan mention that the Masiriyya are the sons of "Masira bin Tha'aliba bin Fakhed bin Ali." There was a group of Tha'aliba in Upper Egypt, and Al-Qalqashandi indicates that Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi had settled a group of Tha'aliba in the Huf. It appears that after the repeated failure of Arab conquests, the Tha'aliba and their cousins migrated to Kordofan. It seems that the Tha'aliba, like the rest of the Baqqara tribes, mixed with other Arab groups during their migration and later intermingled through marriage with the original inhabitants of Kordofan. It is worth noting that some of them have retained their Arab identity, especially in terms of race, as there are two types of Masiriyya in Kordofan: the Blue Masiriyya, referring to the darkness of their skin, and the Red Masiriyya, indicating the fairness of their skin. The Baqqara are attributed to Junayd bin Ahmad al-Ajzam, or Ibn Hamad al-Ajzam in another narration. The Baqqara: The Baqqara tribes live in South Kordofan and Darfur in a region extending west to Lake Chad and south to the Dinka and Frit region. 224
