The dancing began.

The Sultan of Darfur, Ali Dinar, was a formidable ruler. He was known for his military prowess and his ability to unite the various tribes of the region. He was also a shrewd politician, and he was able to maintain his independence from the Egyptian Khedivate for many years.

Ali Dinar was a devout Muslim, and he was a patron of the arts and sciences. He built many mosques and schools, and he encouraged the study of the Quran and the Hadith. He was also a poet, and his poems were widely admired.

In 1916, Ali Dinar was killed in battle against the British. His death marked the end of an era in Darfur, and the region was subsequently incorporated into Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.
