I am trying to wikify this article but I am having difficulty understanding.

You say "Dar Sila is the name of the wandering sultanate of the Dar Sila Daju", but then later you describe it as a place and give its location.

Is a group of wandering people or is it a place? KarenAnn 16:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from article to here because it does not fit under History[edit]

due to collapse of heavier and bigger stones on them. This Jabel remains as a witness till now northeast of Nyala, the Daju capital. Excavations should be made to investigate this rich archaeological and cultural heritage.

A wise woman had invented a trick to divert his idea towards another to prevent mass and wasteless killings of warriors who defend the kingdom. She ignited his inherent male instinct and encouraged him to ride a tiang "Teital" in the festival day rather than riding mere horse for he is a king who should be unique in his dynastic behaviors. King Kasefore, however, accepted the idea and rode a tiang on the day of the festival with arrogance and full pride. His followers tied him strongly by the wet buffalo leather to prevent him from possible collapse. When the tiang galloped away from the festival area, about 40 horsemen including his sons ran after him. Unfortunately, the tiang ran as quick as a released arrow into the thorny bushes and thick jungles for nights and days at the time. Wherever those who followed him found a torn part of the king's organs, they set up a village and assigned a small fellow or son to stay there until the king perished finally at Dar Sila where his followers found his head besides the tiang corpse. One of his elder sons called "Sila" who died later established the Sultanate of Dar Sila.

This article needs work[edit]

The history is not very clear. I tried the best I could Please forgive me for any mistakes. You need to get more information about the history.

Let me know if I can help you with the formatting of the article. KarenAnn 16:52, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
