Interesting story for further research. The Mahdist War (ath-Thawra al-Mahd; 188199) was a British colonial war of the late 19th century, which was fought between the Mahdist Sudanese of the religious leader the "Mahdi" of Islam (the "Guided One"), and the forces of the Khedivate of Egypt, initially, and later the forces of Britain. Eighteen years of war resulted in the joint-rule state of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (18991956), a condominium of the British Empire and the Kingdom of Egypt. The British participation in the war is called the Sudan Campaign, which is vividly described in "The River War" (1899) by Winston Churchill, a participant in the war; other names for this war are the "Mahdist Revolt", the "AngloSudan War" and the "Sudanese Mahdist Revolt".
