The East, and thus this route has witnessed since the dawn of history peoples and tribes departing from the northern coast in different directions, some of whom were able to reach the Kordofan and Darfur region, and then the Sahara Desert and its many locations through which the desert was penetrated reaching the Nile Valley and the Western Sudanese region and beyond.
It is also clear that the Arab groups or others who migrated to Sudan via this route did not migrate all at once, but rather in intermittent periods and under various circumstances.
Hence, this northwestern passage, whether originating from Tripoli, Libya, or the rest of the Maghreb, heading south, contributed to coloring the western parts of Sudan with an Arab character, just as this route contributed to the Arab migration movement, as many tribes came via these paths to the areas west of the White Nile and settled there.

Consequently, the inevitable result was that these Arab tribes eventually integrated into the lives of the local inhabitants in the regions of Darfur, Kordofan, and the Western Sudan region.
