Their region lies east of the Delta, extending to near Kadugli. Its northern part is in the arid Qozan, and the rest is suitable for agriculture, especially in the areas of Al-Najkariyah and Umm Alwan, and others. Gum trees are also abundant. The Hawazma are mostly nomadic, as they are forced to migrate south in the summer for pasture and water. Those who engage in agriculture and trade reside in their region year-round. The tribe is divided into three sections: Abd Al-Ali, Hallamah, and Al-Rawamah. Due to their penetration into the Nuba Mountains, some of them have mixed with the Nuba people, to the extent that some named their children Nuba. The sub-tribes of this tribe living in Kordofan are Darati, Dar Shaltuqo, Dar Najuni, Dar Ba'ilah, and Awlad Amish. Awlad Hamid: Their homeland is around Tegali. They claim their ancestor, Babikr Al-Abbasi, was from the two families who migrated to Kordofan around the middle of the 12th century AD. He settled in the area of Bani Al-Zuhd and Tarkila, and in the southwest of Tegali. In that region, they disputed with the Hilaliyah and a segment of the Hawazma before the Mahdiya. When the Mahdiya broke out, they tried to resist it but lost many of their fighting men, forcing them to support and join it. In Kordofan, they mixed with some other tribes and also intermingled with the Nuba tribes, as they helped some Nubian blood to infiltrate them. Banu Judham, to whom the Bagara are attributed, had flowed eastward into Sudan around the year 794 AH / 1391 AD, reaching north of Darfur and ending the rule of the Zaghawa there. Groups of Judham and their Qarana, the Lakhmids, were driven from their homes in the region of Qatmiyin, Al-Abawiyyin, and perhaps they took the borders of Egypt as their homeland, especially the western borders, for a period of time. These borders had been a theater for the movements of the Hilaliyah and their allies since the 6th century AH, following the invasions they launched into North Africa. It is possible that the Judham and their groups joined these Hilaliyah, then flowed into Western Sudan and from there into Darfur. 226
