Uqba ibn Nafi
The Kountas or Kuntas (singular: "Elkentawi" or "Alkanata") are described originally as Arabs, descendants of Uqba ibn Nafi, then as Berber Zenata. The Kunta tribe are also considered to have roots to Sidi Ahmad al-Bakkay, the founder, who died in the early 16th century. The Kunta originated in Qayrawan.
