The Beja people (Arabic:البجا) are an ethnic group inhabiting Sudan, as well as parts of Eritrea, Egypt, and the Sahara desert. They speak the Beja language as a mother tongue, which belongs to the Afro-Asiatic family.
SIL Ethnologue cites an estimate of a total population of 1.2 million based on information dating to 1982.
More recent estimates cite a total population close to 2.5 million.
History
The Beja are a traditionally pastoralist Cushitic people native to the territory in the extreme northeast of Sudan.
They were partially Christianised in the 6th century, and the southern Beja were part of the kingdom of Axum in the early medieval period.
The Beja were Islamized beginning in the 15th century.
The now-Islamic Beja participated in the further Muslim conquest of Sudan, expanding southward.
The Hadendowa Beja by the 18th century dominated much of eastern Sudan.
In the Mahdist War of the 1880s to 1890s, the Beja fought on either side, the Hadendoa siding with the rebels while the Bisharin and Amarar sided with the British.

The beautiful culture before the War | Port Sudan
I traveled to Port Sudan, Kassala, and then back to Khartoum to experience some of the ancient beauty traditions and other activities.
In Port Sudan I attempted scuba diving, met the Beja Tribe, and went to a huge fish market.
In Kassala, I made some friends who took me to the dry beach, to meet the Rashaida tribe, and a picnic under the Mango trees. The Rashaida tribe showed me their traditional sword dancing and then invited me for lunch.
Back in Khartoum I saw a Sufi ceremony, went to the camel market, got henna and tried Dukhan.

The Beja people of north east Sudan and southern Egypt are living descendants of Ancient Egyptians. If you ever wondered from all the controversy what the Ancient Egyptians look like take a good look. They are a true representation of ancient egyptians.
Note! most of the people of modern Egypt are descended from Arabs who invaded in the 7th centuary and whiten the population. The language the Beja people speak is the closest language to that of classical Egypt
The Beja are said to be the Medjay soldier class originating in Ta-Seti as the archers called into service during the 12th Dynastic Period.
Their Beja name is said to derive from the municipality founded by Amenemhat I called Amenemhat-It-jawy or Itjawy or Bedjawi or Bejawi (another modern name for Beja).
Amenemhat I created an army from his mother’s home town of Ta-Seti and the Beja are said to be those warriors-for-hire and their name is derived from the municipality Amenemhat I founded.
Historically, the Medjay date to before the 12th Dynasty and from the Old Kingdom fought against ancient Egypt on the side of Kush, then switched back and forth between ancient Egyptian and Nubian alliances ending during the Roman era in which they sided with the Romans against the rulers of Meroe.
In the Roman era, they were known as the Blemmyes. Much later, Rudyard Kipling referred to them as “Fuzzy Wuzzies” because of their tiffa (afros) hair style.
The Beja themselves name themselves after whatever land they reside upon and presently span from Sudan and Egypt into Eritrea and Ethiopia and even Yemen. They are traditionally pastoral but some are nomadic.
Their language is Ta Bedawi / Bedawiye and although Cushitic is considered the origin of the Semitic Ge’ez language and those that derived from Ge’ez such as Tigre, Tigrinya, and Amharic.
Political Situation! The Beja have been independent, with fairly autonomous clan. For instance, the Beni-Amer alone have over 40 sections. They have not always had amicable relations diverse Beja groups.
They resisted military conquest by Egyptian pharaohs. Occasionally certain sections of the Beja have paid tribute to Egyptian rulers. In recent centuries they have been ruled by a series of Islamic governments. In recent years, some of the more educated Beja have become active in the affairs of modern Sudan.
All Beja divisions are Muslims and Sudanese Beja support the government's attempt to impose Islamic law on the Sudan. In 1996, however, they also suffered reprisals from the Khartoum government when they refused to be forced to serve in the Sudan army. Reports are that many have retreated into Eritrea for refuge.
This is a brief history of the Beja people.
