In a wider sense the term is applied to all nations south of Darfur.

Whatever its limits may be, Dar Fertit is no doubt one of the oldest domains of the slave trade, and it was in 1870 described by Schweinfurth as a " sold-out land." The territory of the Krej lies to the west of the Bongo Country.
