What linguistic or cultural attributes that you see made you come to the conclusion that the Kunamas have similar origination as the zahawas of Chad, Libya and Sundan? Do you see any anthroplogical explaination for the similarities. I wonder if the Zahawas are also Nilotic?

I think Kunama is very much have the same language especially Zahawas of Libya, Chad and Sudan Darfur.
