Biography

I'm a Nubian from "abka" .."Abka" was! a very small village few kilometers south of Wadi Halfa Town (both village and town inundated by High Dam)...Located on the western bank of the Nile and the 2nd.Cataract. Several small islands were part of 'abka' , some were inhabited. The inhabitants of Abka and the Islands were almost one big extended family with kins and family links and ties extending as far as Debeerah in the North and deep down in the south to the borders of Mahas and Dongola. 'abka' and several other villages from Serra in the north and up to Akasha in the South were forced to relocate, migrate and disperse to escape inundation by the High Dam and lake Nasser. As such the inhabitants are divided between those who were relocated in the new settlement of 'Khasm Elgerba' in East Sudan, or those who insisted to remain next to the "innundated Abka" and re-build again..
