		The Fezzan, a region of desert oases just to the north of Kanem and Lake Chad, was an irresistible target for the Sefuwa kings.
		It is unlikely that Kanem achieved complete hegemony in the Fezzan; both north African kingdoms and local Berber lineages were too solidly entrenched, and it was far easier and more effective to seek compromise with them than to fight them.
		One is tempted to imagine Kanem enjoying a general primacy in the Fezzan, with other local powers working together to ensure stability and active trade across the desert.

		By the Nigerian region I mean primarily the area that comprises the present republic of Nigeria, but also including southern Niger and western Chad--in short, the area otherwise known as the Central Bilad al-Sudan.
		Arabic scholarly and literary writing in Nigeria falls into a number of broad categories: research and teaching, polemical, devotional, and "secular." What may be called "research and teaching," or "academic" prose, consists mainly of works of commentary and explication, treatments (often in verse) of disciplines or subdisciplines, and works that span several disciplines.

		Consolidations of small chiefdoms led to the evolution of a series of kingdoms and empires in the central region, of which the most important were Kanem-Borno, Bagirmi, and Wadai.

		The traditional heartland of the Fur is the mountainous region around Jebel SÃ® and Jebel Marra; today, however, most of them live in the lower country west and southwest of that area, between 11-14 N and 23-26 E. A few Fur live across the border in Chad.
		The Furs' lifestyle has led to conflict with the nomadic Baggara cattle-herders of the region concerning access to water and grazing land, particularly in Darfur's central Jebel Marra mountains where the best agricultural land is to be found.
