Artega
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Artega is a tribe of African "Arabs" said to be descendants of a sheik of that name who came from Hadramut in pre-Islamic days, settling near Tokar. The name is said to be "patrician," and the Artega may be regarded as the most ancient stock in the Suakin district. They were all followers of the Mahdi and Khalifa in the Sudan wars (1883-1898).
