Everything about The Rizeigat totally explained
The
Rizeigat, or
Rizigat, are a
Muslim and arabic origin tribe of the nomadic
Bedouin Baggara people in
Sudan's
Darfur region. They are a branch of the Juhayna group. They are divided into the Abbala (camel-herding) Rizeigat, who live in northern Darfur and Chad, and the Baggara (cattle-herders) who inhabit south-east Darfur. In turn they're divided into several large clans, notably the Mahamid, Mahariya and Nawaiba. The Mahamid, led by
Sheikh Musa Hilal, have been deeply implicated in the Darfur conflict. Although they've historically backed the Sudan Government during the conflict with the SPLA, in the case of more recent Darfur warfare the Baggara Rizeigat have refused to join the government troops under
Janjaweed militias to exterminate rebels. Their leader,
Saeed Madibo cites the governnment's lack of development in Rizeigat areas, despite the tribe's history of support in recent southern conflicts. He also states that his tribe wasn't allowed to be part of the southern peace process.
