Everything about Al Ubayyid totally explained
Al-Ubayyid (also
El Obeid)
(
Arabic: الأبيض) is the capital of the
state of
North Kurdufan in central
Sudan. In
1993, its population was 229,425. It is an important transportation hub: the terminus of a
rail line, the junction of various roads and
camel caravan routes, and the end of a
pilgrim route from
Nigeria. It was founded by the
pashas of
Ottoman Egypt in
1821 but was subsequently destroyed by the
Mahdists in
1883. It was then rebuilt in
1898 following the fall of the Mahdist empire.
The population of this town is majority Muslim with a small Christian presence. The town today is the site of an international airport and an oil refinery. Al-Ubayyid is home to the
University of Kordofan, established in 1990. The
United Nations Mission in Sudan has established its Logistics Base there.
