Central Sudan
The central Sudan is the part of the Sahel and savanna belt of West and Central Africa between the Niger bend and Lake Chad, in the historical sense of the Bilad al-Sudan. It was the home of the Hausa city-states and of Kanem-Bornu. The region was dominated by the Kanem-Bornu Empire and, from the nineteenth century, by the Sokoto Caliphate.
