Large bladed spear for ID

Would appreciate the expertise of members with yet another spear from my heap . Overall length is 200 cm, blade inc socket is 60 cm and the max width of the blade is 7 cm. The shaft is wooden with no shoe .

Looks like North East Africa somewhere. I would suspect the Sudan where so much of this stuff came to the UK. That Ansar tunic? looks in very good condition.
