Sudan, Egyptian 18 Al-Zubayr Rahma from the Hijab tribe (attributed to all of the Abbasids), a tribe famous for its bravery. He pledged allegiance to Prince Ismail bin Muhammad Ali on the day he conquered Sudan and remained loyal to the Alawite princess. Al-Zubayr was a young man who made his mark on Sudanese history. He began his life in trade then traveled with his cousin to Bahr al-Ghazal in the service of the Egyptian merchant Ali Abu Amuri. His uncle succeeded in 1856, and there were many Egyptian merchants there, and each merchant built a thorn enclosure to store his goods. The locals attacked these enclosures to loot the goods, so Al-Zubayr defended Ali Abu Amuri's enclosure. The locals attacked him and he defended himself. He decided to pursue his trade and profit. He ventured further into the country where merchants had not reached. Then he headed to the land of al-Ghanim, where he married the daughter of its sultan, and his trade increased. He bought 500 young men from the King of al-Ghanim and trained them in the use of weapons. These young men were under the government's authority, and it was the custom of the people of the land to slaughter them and eat their meat. So the king Hawa, fearing his tyranny, fled to another king who was an enemy of his tribe. Hawa sent his men to kill him on the road, but he defeated them. When he sought refuge with the second king, Hawa mobilized an army to fight him. This king fled from him, and Al-Zubayr was forced to seek refuge in the land of Qulu, whose king at that time was "his enemy Shubuk," who had killed Al-Zubayr's brother. War broke out between them, and the king and his son were killed, and Al-Zubayr became king of that land, and his capital was Dimm al-Zubayr. Then he allied with the Zariqat Arabs and opened the trade route between Bahr al-Ghazal and Kordofan. In 1869, Haj Muhammad al-Salmi al-Maghribi arrived in Bahr al-Ghazal with 200 Sudanese soldiers led by Muhammad Effendi Munib, 400 Bashi-bazouks, and 600 Khartoumi. Al-Zubayr fought them and defeated them. The governor of Sudan at that time was Ja'far Pasha Mazhar. When the King of al-Ghanim saw the extent of Al-Zubayr's kingdom, he sent him a threat, demanding that he abandon the kingdom. So war broke out between them, which ended with Al-Zubayr's victory.
