Darfur is the Fur homeland.
Fur clans, renowned as cavalrymen, frequently ally with or oppose their kin, the Kanuri of Bornu, in modern Nigeria.
After a period of disorder in the sixteenth century, during which the region is briefly subject to Bornu, the leader of the Keira clan, Sulayman Solong (1596-1637), supplants a rival clan and becomes Darfur's first sultan.
