Bahr al-Arab
Bahr al-Arab (The Arabian River, in the language of the Dink people is called Kiir) - a river in Sudan and South Sudan. It is located in the highlands of Azande in Central Africa, built of Precambrian rocks (its height reaches 1400 m n.p.m.). Bahr al-Arab is one of the source tributaries of the Bahr el Ghazal, about 800 kilometers long. During periods of drought, it carries very little water.
Creates a connection to Jur River. The catchment, along with Bahr al-Ghazal, extends over an area of 851,459 km² and extends from the borders of the Central African Republic to the Darfur desert region.
There were fierce battles on the Bahr al-Arab during the Second Sudan Civil War.
