Dabarqi

Dabarqi lies in the country between the Rahad and Dinder rivers of eastern Sudan. Both rivers descend from the Ethiopian highlands towards the Blue Nile, crossing plains that change with the seasonal rains. The region lay along approaches between the Ethiopian frontier and Sennar, capital of the Funj sultanate. Its waterways and open ground formed part of a borderland where the interests of the Nile valley and the highlands met.
