Years: 1498 - 1498
The kingdom of 'Alwah in the southern Sudan extends from Kabushiyah as far south as Sennar, with its capital at Soba near present Khartoum.
'Alwah is, with Abyssinia, one of Africa's two remaining Christian kingdoms and the last indigenous Christian barrier to Arab occupation of the Sudan.
Weakened by continuous and corrosive raids of the Bedouin throughout the fifteenth century, the kingdom collapses in 1498 under assault by the so-called Abdallabites, an Arab confederation led by 'Abd Allah Jamma'.
