Kingdom

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kreich (also Kreish , Kresh , Kreisch ) are an ethnic group from Africa . They primarily inhabit the Ubangi region in the east of the Central African Republic and in the border region in the west of Sudan .

They originally come from the Nile Basin . They actually speak a Nilosaharan language , but Banda is becoming more and more popular . Increasingly, the circles assimilate with the banda .

At the end of the 19th century the kingdoms became the target of Sudanese slave hunters, among them al-Zubayr Rahma . Some of the kingdoms were in the service of al-Zubayr, and when he was defeated by Egypt, they again operated as slave hunters.
