"Eastern Sudan" is the name of the operation area of the "Eastern Front". The Eastern Front is a coalition of local rebel groups, namely the Beja Congress, the Rashaida Free Lions and since 2005 also the JEM from Darfur. Until 2005 the Southern Sudanese SPLA, was part of the Eastern Front. The semi-nomadic Beja are Muslims, and they are with 2,4 million members one of the largest ethnic groups in the Sudan. The Muslim Rashaida are a people of Arab origin, whose ancestors in the middle of the 19th century migrated from the Arabian Peninsula into the Eastern Sudan.
