Wara

Wara lies in Dar Simiat, east of al-Fasher in the dry country of Darfur. At Jebel Wara, an old settlement site preserves traces of the communities that occupied the region before the growth of later centres. Nearby ruins are associated in local tradition with the Daju, whose kingdom was among the early powers of Darfur. The scattered remains speak to a long history of settlement across these plains and hills.
