My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Remarkable Women in History by Country: Sudan
Amanirenas
The Kingdom of Kush lay to the South of Egypt and is famous for its more pointed pyramids. Several Queens have ruled Kush, but one of the greatest is certainly Amanirenas. Ruling for about 30 years, she led her forces against the Romans in Egypt. After initial success, the Romans pushed back. A peace treaty was then signed, by terms favorable to Kush.
A contemporary of Cleopatra, Amanirenas was probably blind in one eye.
