| Alodia, also referred to as Alwa or Aloa, was a medieval Nubian kingdom in what is now central and southern Sudan. Its capital was the city of Soba located near modern-day Khartoum at the confluence of the Blue and White Nile. * The earliest texts that refer to Alodia as a kingdom date to around 569 although its founding is likely to have been earlier, possibly dating back to the fall of the ancient kingdom of Kush. It converted to Coptic Christianity around 580, the last of the three Nubian kingdoms to convert, the other two being Nobadia and Makuria. The kingdom likely reached its peak during the 9th–12th centuries when it controlled most of central and southern riverine Sudan including the Gezira (a fertile region bounded by the White and Blue Nile) as well as the Nuba mountains, the Butana and even parts of the desert bordering the Red Sea. It was described as being larger and mightier than its northern neighbor, Makuria, with which Alodia maintained close dynastic ties. * By the 13th century, the kingdom had entered a severe decline possibly caused by invasions from the south, droughts and a shift of trade routes. The 14th century also saw the arrival of both the plague and bedouin tribes migrating into the upper Nile valley. By around 1500, Soba had fallen to either Arabs or the Funj, likely marking the end of Alodia, although some Sudanese oral traditions claimed that Alodia survived in the form of the kingdom of Fazughli within the Ethiopian-Sudanese borderlands. After the destruction of Soba, the Funj established the sultanate of Sennar ushering in a period of Islamization and arabization ultimately resulting in the modern day Sudanese Arab identity.* |
