Riverian

This riverian environment, as in other places, played a prominent role in the development of the states.

The people of northern riverian Sudan continue to participate in the dramatic changes that have swept the Region in the twentieth century, including war and conquest, changes in labour opportunities both locally and abroad, […]

Slave institutions, however, were more effective among riverian Muslim societies of the Northern Sudan than among others such as the Fur.

While various resources, developed plans, and scattered parcels of land along the riverian corridor were acquired, there was no stable funding for facility development (St. Louis County, 2003).

As far as other parts of the Sudan, including Darfur, were concerned, they were simply handed over to riverian Sudan to oversee the destruction of their cultures.

In the Sudan, people generally refer to religious men who teach the Qur'an and other Islamic knowledge as fuqarâ, whether in Darfur, Kordofan, the riverian or eastern Sudan.
