Through their nomadic movement, the Hawazma know the area, terrain, ethnic groups, local tribes, tribal cultures, ecosystems, climate, vegetation, existence of risks and diseases, and water resources better than any other inhabitants of the region.
Hawazma are mostly found in routes originating from Al Obeid city in Northern Kordofan, through Deling city and its eastern part, Kadugli city and its eastern part, to Talodi region.

 Sudan Vision Daily News Paper Official Website - Sudan Post-Conflict Environmental Assessment (16)
At the start of the civil war in the 1980s, cattle-herding pastoralists from the Hawazma Baggara tribe started penetrating deeper into the Nuba mountains in search of water and pasture for their cattle, due to the loss of grazing land to mechanized agriculture and drought.
Meanwhile, as some of the dry season pastures around Talodi were off-limits during the conflict years, the Hawazma had to remain in their wet season grazing lands in Northern Kordofan, exerting greater pressure on the vegetation there.
In 2006, UNEP observed the return of Hawazma Baggara to their former grazing camps in conflict zones in Southern Kordofan, for example near Atmoor.

 Circumcision   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The reasons given for the adoption of this form of circumcision are: (1) that it is supposed to be a protection against untimely pregnancy (2) that it is regarded as rendering the victim more attractive to the men.”[11]
The Hawazma Arabs in the eastern Nuba Mountains practise the Pharaonic circumcision, which thus reached the Nuba tribe in that part—or one Nuba tribe as far as my material goes, the Tira.
In this operation virginity and the consummation of marriage thus receive a new, strong emphasis, which is indeed expressed in the sex-morality of this Nuba tribe.

 Baggara
Baggara is actually a collective name applied to the separate cattle-herding tribes of Sudan and eastern Chad.
The Baggara peoples identify with their tribal names more often than with the all-encompassing term ‘baggara.’ There are at least seven principal tribes which include the following: Humr/Messiria, Rizaygat, Shuwia, Hawazma, Ta’isha, and Habbaniya.
These nomads originated from the Guhayna group, a clan of Bedouin Arabs who poured across the Senai Peninsula from Saudi Arabia and eventually successfully invaded the Nile region of upper Egypt and surged into The Sudan in the year 1504.
