MENSA

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 133 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MENSA and MAREA, semi-
nomad
 
pastoral
  tribes of Africans occupying
part
  of the Abyssinian highlands induded in the Italian colony of Eritrea, and the adjacent
coast
  plains of the Red Sea. They have for neighbours the Habab and Beni-Amer tribes, as well as Abyssinians. The Marea are found cnieily in the valley of the Khor Anseba, the Mensa dwelling farther
north
 . These tribes claim Arab origin, tracing their descent from an uncle of the Prophet. Under Abyssinian
rule
  they were Christians, but became Mahommedans in the 19th
century
 . They speak a dialect of Tigrin (Abyssinian). On the death of a Marea the head of every dependent
tigre
  or slave family must give his heirs a cow. The tribes avenge an illegitimate
birth
  by putting parents and child to death.
