About this place
Nyala is the industrial capital of southern Darfur and a key trading hub for Gum arabic. While located in the Darfur region, the city itself has largely avoided the widespread conflict that has affected surrounding areas, though it hosts significant refugee populations in nearby camps. Its role as the western terminus of Sudan’s rail network underscores its importance as a commercial center.
