• Faras in the north, Dongola in the center, and Soba to the south. Faras was absorbed by Dongola in the early 8th century. Dongola was sacked by Mamluq Egypt in 1276; a Muslim client regime was installed by 1315, but the region was soon annexed entirely by Egypt. Soba endured until near the end of the 15th century, but it, too succumbed to Arab invasion. With the extinction of the last Nubian successor state at Soba, in the late 1400's, the Funj were able to build a stable state at Sennar - the Sennar state endured from c. 1500 to 1821, when it was annexed to Egypt. The Mahdi seized these lands in 1881, but by 1896 the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium was back in place. The modern Republic of the Sudan emerged in 1956.
