Sometime in the mid 20th century, I read a news item about a Black African tribe, in southern Egypt or northern Sudan, that was still guarding a Roman fort awaiting the return of the Romans. Can anyone shed any light on this?

I doubt they manned the battlements. What they did more likely was guard the area as a sort of special place they were holding in trust. This sort of aural tradition is very important to african tribes.
