Rizeigat tribe

Bedouin Baggara tribe in the Darfur region of Sudan

The Rizeigat, or Rizigat, or Rezeigat are a Muslim and an Arab tribe of the nomadic Baggara people in Sudan's Darfur region and/or Chad region. The Rizeigat belong to the greater Baggara Arabs fraternity of Darfur, Kordofan and Chad, and speak Sudanese Arabic or Chadian Arabic. They are primarily nomadic herders and their journeys are dependent upon the seasons of the year. 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 who inhabit south-east Darfur. In turn they are divided into several large clans, notably the Mahamid, Mahariya and Nawaiba. The ecological differences between the north and south of Sudan allowed for two different types of nomadism to evolve: camel herders in the north and cattle herders in the south. They are a substantial part of the Janjaweed turned Rapid Support Forces.
