Baqlin

Baqlin was one of the Beja kingdoms recorded by al-Yaqubi around 890, probably in the western Eritrean lowlands near the Baraka and Anseba rivers.

From the thirteenth century, Beja power declined as Abyssinian settlers returned to the highlands. The Beja kingdoms were absorbed or displaced by the rising Bellou kingdom, which dominated the region until the sixteenth century.
