Taweisha

Taweisha lies in the eastern reaches of Darfur, on the plains between the Marrah highlands and Kordofan. This is Sahelian country, where the rains sustain grasses and cultivation for part of the year and leave a long dry season. The plains formed part of the territory contested by the rulers of Darfur and their neighbours, linking the sultanate's heartland with the lands to the east.
