The Battle of Kufit: The Mahdist War - 1881 - 1899
Sudan's revolutionary Mahdist armies pose an existential threat to British-Egypt, and the allmighty British Empire is now forced to look to Ethiopia for help. Ethiopia's Emperor obliges to help evacuate remaining Egyptian troops from major strongholds - partially for the purpose of building alliances, and partially to defend her own border. While the Ethiopians are generally successful, a mission to relieve Kassala, on a city on Ethiopia's northern front, is delayed, fails. The fortified position falls to the Mahdist armies, endangering Ethiopia's northern influence, and bringing the Empire into direct conflict with the Mahdists.

Mahdist War & Aftermath - Every Month (1882-1927)
One of the first iconic conflicts against the British Empire especially in Africa was the Mahdist War, a conflict that spanned the last quarter of the 19th Century and lasted until 1927. The Ansar, lead by a man who claimed to be the prophesized figure in the Quran called the Mahdi would wage a rebellion against the Egyptian administration in Sudan, ravaged by instability around Cairo, the Ansar would take advantage and take control of the country and establish the Mahdiyya, an Islamic State with the Mahdi as leader, see how the conflict and the aftermath of the war, which includes various Ansar rebellions and Inter-Tribal Conflict, will play out in this video.

The Nubian Geographic Presents: The Clash of the Worlds, The Mahdi Revolution (1881-1898).
The Nubian Geographic: Al Mahdi Dynasty
The Mahdist Revolution was an Islamic revolt against the Egyptian government in the Sudan. An apocalyptic branch of Islam, Mahdism incorporated the idea of a golden age in which the Mahdi, translated as “the guided one,” would restore the glory of Islam to the earth.
Attempting to overhaul Egypt through an aggressive westernization campaign, Egyptian ruler Muhammad Ali, who was himself a provincial governor of the Ottoman Empire, invaded the Sudan in 1820. Within a year his armies had subdued the Sudan and he began conscripting local Sudanese men into the Egyptian military. In 1822 Khartoum became the capital of Egyptian-occupied Sudan and a distant outpost in the Ottoman Empire.
Egyptian rule over the Sudan involved the imposition of high rate...

The Nubian Geographic: Al Mahdi Dynasty
The Mahdist Revolution was an Islamic revolt against the Egyptian government in the Sudan. An apocalyptic branch of Islam, Mahdism incorporated the idea of a golden age in which the Mahdi, translated as “the guided one,” would restore the glory of Islam to the earth.
Attempting to overhaul Egypt through an aggressive westernization campaign, Egyptian ruler Muhammad Ali, who was himself a provincial governor of the Ottoman Empire, invaded the Sudan in 1820. Within a year his armies had subdued the Sudan and he began conscripting local Sudanese men into the Egyptian military. In 1822 Khartoum became the capital of Egyptian-occupied Sudan and a distant outpost in the Ottoman Empire.
Egyptian rule over the Sudan involved the imposition of high rates of taxation, the taking of slaves from the local population at will, and the absolute control over all Sudanese trade which destroyed livelihoods and indigenous practices. During the process of military conscription, tens of thousands of Sudanese men and boys died on their long march from the Sudanese hinterlands to Aswan, Egypt.
Ali’s tenure as Egyptian governor ended in 1848, but the suffering of the Sudanese people under Ottoman rule did not. When the anti-slavery campaign of the new Egyptian governor, Ismail, began in 1863, Sudanese unrest intensified since human bondage was now an integral part of the local economy. Matters were complicated by the arrival of the British in 1873 who assumed responsibility over Egypt in order to protect their interests in the Suez Canal and ensure repayment of loans to that government. General Charles Gordon was appointed governor of Sudan and he immediately intensified the anti-slavery campaign initiated a decade earlier. Sudanese Arab leaders, however, saw British efforts as a European Christian attempt to undermine Muslim Arab dominance in the region.
On June 29, 1881, a Sudanese Islamic cleric, Muhammad Ahmad, was proclaimed the Mahdi. Playing into decades of disenchantment over Egyptian rule and new resentment against the British, Ahmad immediately transformed an incipient political movement into a fundamentally religious one.
By 1882 the Mahdist Army had taken complete control over the area surrounding Khartoum. Then, in 1883, a joint British-Egyptian military expedition under the command of British Colonel William Hicks launched a counterattack against the Mahdists. Hicks was soon killed and the British decided to evacuate the Sudan. Fighting continued however and the British-Egyptian forces which defended Khartoum in a long siege were finally overrun on January 28, 1885. Virtually the entire garrison was killed. General Charles Gordon, the commander of the British-Egyptian forces, was beheaded during the attack. Mahdist State Map
In June 1885 Ahmad, was proclaimed Mahdi, died. As a result the Mahdist movement quickly dissolved as infighting broke out among rival claimants to leadership. Hoping to capitalize on internal strife, the British returned to the Sudan in 1896 with Horatio Kitchener as commander of another Anglo-Egyptian army. In the final battle of the war on September 2, 1898 at Karari, 11,000 Mahdists were killed and 16,000 were wounded.
Muhammed Ahmad’s successor called the Khalifa fled after his forces were overrun. In November of 1899 he was found and killed, officially ending the Mahdist state. Exacting vengeance for the death of Charles Gordon a decade earlier, Kitchener exhumed Ahmad’s body and pulled out his fingernails.
