The Tergam used to live in north-western Darfur and were moved by 'Ali Dinar to the east of Gebel Marra. There they live with the Beni Husayn, Hotia and Ta'elba Arabs and the sedentary Fur as their neighbours, and breed cattle. They call themselves '"Atawa" (descendants of 'Atia) and so belong to the same tribal group as the Rizaykat. There are few of them in Darfur, still fewer in Dar Masah't and Wadai, and none elsewhere.

Many of them and of the Tergam were until about ten years ago round Kebkebfa and Kulkul, but they were removed by 'Ali Dinar.
