Abstract	:	Al-Fāshir (El Fasher), current population approximately 260,000, is the capital of the wilāya (province) of North Darfur in the Republic of Sudan and was the capital of the independent Darfur sultanate from 1791 to 1916. In 1785, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Aḥmad Bukr (r. 1785–1801) took power in the Darfur sultanate, today the western region of Sudan. Seeking a new seat of power, he moved the centre of the sultanate from the west to the east of the Jebel Marra mountains and established his royal encampment (fāshir)
