About: Abbala Arabs

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Abbala people are an Arab ethnic group of the Sahel located in Sudan and Chad. The Abbala are named after their subsistence practice of camel herding. The term "Abbala" is mostly used in Sudan to distinguish them from the Baggara, a grouping of Arab ethnicities who herd cattle. Although, the two groupings share a common origin from the Juhayna tribe of the Arabian peninsula and it is a common way to distinguish Rizeigat who herd camels in Northern Darfur and those who herd cows in Southern Darfur. According to Braukämp (1993) some of the Abbala people experienced a cultural change to Baggara culture after being pushed from the Sahel region into the savanna. This resulted in a switch in livestock to cattle, which are better adapted to the savanna environment.

  • 阿巴拉，是生活在西非薩赫勒地區的阿拉伯族群，以放牧單峰駱駝為生計基礎。 阿巴拉一詞主要用來區別於另一阿拉伯牧牛族群加巴拉， 根據Braukämp（1993)的說法，一些阿巴拉人在從薩赫勒地區進入熱帶稀樹草原後，經歷了文化變遷。這導致牲畜種類轉向牛隻，這更適合熱帶草原環境。 在蘇丹達爾富爾衝突中，他們與加巴拉人因爭奪土地與水源和黑人定居農民衝突不斷。 (zh)
