Its advantages
- The region has abundant prairies in it with vast areas, where there are many wild animals such as: tigers, lions, elephants, hawks, crocodiles, hyenas, antelopes, deer, eagles and others.
- The region is dominated by a period of drought and severe drought in some seasons, in order to neglect the state by discharging and storing water, in addition to the absence of any modern techniques for collecting rain water, such as dams and wells, even if these technologies exist, and they are overcome by randomness and chaos.
- The absence of any seaport for the state.
- Most of the region’s population depends on livestock, leather and hunting for their lives, and this threatens many animal species in it, especially elephants.
