The Kababish (Arabic: كبابيش) are a nomadic tribe of the northern Kordofan region of Sudan.[1] The Kababish comprise about 19 different groups, which are all led by a single nazir or chief. Their main occupation is as camel herders, which gives them a high standing in Arabic society as camels are highly prized and valued.
The main religion of the Kababish is Islam, adhering to the Sunni denomination. They trace descent from Arab forefathers that hail from the Arabian tribe of Juhaynah, and speak a form of Sudanese Arabic.[2] Women classically dress in a long blue cloth wrapped a few times around their body, while the men wear long white tunics, loose white pants and white turbans. Most men will carry a dagger or sword and perhaps a rifle or shotgun, due to the harshness of desert life and the threat of banditry due to their valuable stock.[citation needed]
