The researcher then reviewed the stage that witnessed the emergence of sultanates in Sinnar, Darfour and Tagali.
The study then focused on the conditions of the Sudanese society in the Turkish Era, and the changes that occurred in the social life and the health and educational services, communications, trade, security, agricultural development, the origination of towns such as Khartoum society that emerged in that new-born town.
