Mornei

Mornei stands in the Nori valley of western Darfur, near the Achamara hills. The valley lies within the country associated with the Masalit, whose settlements and cultivated lands are interspersed with the pastures used by neighbouring communities. Seasonal streams and the rains give shape to a landscape that changes markedly between the wet and dry months, as fields and grazing grounds follow the rhythm of the Sahelian year.

The later city of Zalingei lies here.
