[Excerpt from the book ‘The Greek community in Sudan’]
In the early
20th century lots of masons and constructors left Karpathos and
settled in Sudan. On November 12, 1906 they founded the “Omonia Educational
Association” in order to support both their compatriots that had settled in
Sudan and their place of origin. The Karpathians are the ones who built the
Greek Orthodox church in Khartoum. We should note that in 1912, the association
donated its property to the Greek state that was involved in the Balkan wars.
