The four tribes are settled and nomadic. The nomadic tribes of Kordofan are divided into two groups: the Abbala, whose wealth is camels, and they are in the north; and the Baggara, whose wealth is cattle, and they are in the south. The Abbala include: "Al-Kabaish," who are the strongest nomads in Kordofan, and their camels are the most famous. Their centers include Abu al-Safia, Kajmar, and Ain Hamed. They were divided into several clans and sheikhdoms. Their numbers were once about a quarter of a million people, but the Mahdist Revolution decimated them, leaving only a quarter of that number. "Dudr Hamed," who are neighbors to the Kabaish and their enemies. Their centers are Barea. They are divided into several clans, the most famous of which are Al-Daidat, Al-Hanin, Al-Isaa'id, Al-Nuhayyah, and Al-Arifiyyah. "Abu Jarar," in eastern Kordofan. In their lands, ostriches and gazelles are abundant. "Khar Ghali," in Kordofan. Their centers include Abu Haraz and Al-Anud. In their lands, the baobab tree is found, and they store water in it, selling it to travelers between Kordofan and Darfur. The Baggara include: "Al-Hawazma," in southern Kordofan. Their centers are Al-Baraka. In the summer, they take their cattle to the Nuba Mountains to find water and pasture. When the rainy season comes, they leave these mountains, fleeing the tsetse fly, and return to their lands. "Al-Jame'," in the southeast. Their center is Shargila. They were called Al-Jame' because they are not sons of one man but a mixture of various tribes, the majority of whom are from the Jaa'in. "Al-Taba'ina," between Al-Hawazma and Al-Jame'. Their main centers are Shargila. Lions and elephants are abundant in their lands. They are guides to the Nuba Mountains because they are the most knowledgeable Arabs about the routes of these mountains. "Awlad Majid," who are neighbors to the Taba'ina and their adversaries. "Al-Hamida," who are in the vicinity of Al-Jame'. Their center is Al-Adhiya, between Al-Baraka and Shargila. "Al-Masiriya," who are in their vicinity. They are among the most famous Arab tribes in Darfur from the Abbala. "Al-Ziyadiya," whose center is Maliet. They trade in natron and salt and are descended from Abi Zayd Al-Talali from the Arabs of Tamim. "Al-Mahariya," whose center is Al-Dur. They are said to be descended from Mahra in southern Yemen. It is also said that they and the Rizeigat are one tribe; they settled in the north and acquired camels, while the Rizeigat settled in the south and acquired cattle. They are allies of the Hamida and enemies of the Ziyadiya and the Badiyat. "Al-Shatifat," whose center is Adaka, near Maliet, between the Ziyadiya and the Mahariya. "Al-Ma'aliya," most of whom are settled. Their centers are Karkod, north of Al-Tuwaysha, and Qor. The Ma'aliya are named after them. Their allies are the Rizeigat, and their opponents are the...
