Here are some points you might need to consider to help you reading the books. Bagggara people are hybrid nation of mixed race with parental origin goes back to Arabia and maternal side mostly African. Originally, our Baggara ancestors came to Africa as missionaries at time when there were large Muslims exodus to Africa. Our ancestors came with a unique lifestyle, they were camel herders in the beginning but when faced with adverse environmental factors (such as heavy rains, mud, and intense mosquitoes and pests infestations) they changed to cattle herding. They were eventually named by the British as Baggara "Cattle-herders" or "Cows-herders) to differentiate them from their kin who remained on the desert part of the Sudan and were named as Abbala "Camel-herders". The etymology of the name Baggara comes from the word "Baggar" means cows (singular Baggra - means cow). Similarly, Abbala name comes from "Ibil" meaning camels. both names Baggara and Abbala were meant to differentiate people based on what they do for a living. The British were trying to find away to institute unified taxation codes for different classes of lifestyles - those herding cattle had different tax code, farmers had different tax code, and Abbala had different one. Some of the poor Sudanese such as the great Nuba people of the Nuba Mountains were taxed per head (counting how many persons in the household). My approach in adopting the name is that it become known in the world literature because of the British. Baggara are beautiful and smart people and their women are considered by many as one of the unique African beauties - similar to Ethiopian and Fulbe people. They are passionate people with unique forms of folks and colorful African clothing. Baggara add a great deal to Africans diversity by embodying both Arabs and African culture and traditions. Let us keep the discussion going as you are exploring a new nation - you might need to keep both African culture and Arab culture in mind in order to make sense of these people. Best Regards, Bir Adam
