Who they are
The Rubatab are a Sudanese Arab community historically established along the banks of the Nile River in the Abu Hamed region. They cultivate the fertile land and keep alive their rich oral tradition and community kinship. Their social life is shaped by the rhythms of the river and by an ancient Islamic identity, leaving the group without meaningful contact with the gospel message.
