East of the Bahr el Jebel L05 Fadibek: is the chief village of Shuli land ; the whole country to the south-east is known generally as Lango land.

Fadibek is at the southern limit of the group of mountains ; at this point they cease, but from the penks lying eastward towards Agaru numerous spurs are thrown out in a north-west direction. Various isolated groups and peaks of considerable height crop up between this and the Bari country to the north, the most notable being Jebel Okkiri, which has a height of about 5,000 feet above the sea level.

The gentler slopes of the spurs lying to the south-west of the Lattuka country are rich pasture grounds, and present a park -like appearance.

The country between Fadibek and Obbo is diversified in character; undulating prairies, swampy bottoms, woods, and park-like tracts succeed each other; numerous khors run towards the Bahr el Jebel, but their water is generally thick and turbid.

Between Obbo, which is the most northern station in the Shuli country, and Laboreh the land is low, and in places swampy, but it rises again to the range of hills which borders the Bahr el Jebel between Dufile and Laboreh.

To the south of Fadibek, the high ground is succeeded by a vast undulating prairie. Solitary hills start up here and there, while the ridges bordering the Bahr el Jebel throw out a spur in the direction of Faloro.

The prairie lands are in parts covered with bush, but are generally flat and open, with few trees. Numerous khors, some holding permanent water, intersect the lower grounds, while in other places there are interminable swamps. These districts are mostly uninhabited, and more or less impassable in the wet season.
