If Mahdist state, Lij Iyasu V and Mad Mullah fought in the same timeline...

I've always wondered what would happen if the Mahdist state, Emperor Iyasu V and Mad Mullah fought in the same timeline (1880s -1920s) because they all had the exact same interest, agendas and are similar together culture wise.

The fact that the Mahdist managed to mobilize several dozens of Muslim ethnicities inhabiting in modern Sudan, Eritrea and North Western Ethiopia without problems and almost dismantled the Abyssinian state, drove the Pashas of Egypt and the colonial powers away and the Abyssinian emperor Lij Iyasu V secretly sent arms to Northern Somalia against the colonial powers until he was overthrown by his people showed there is a strong indication they would all unite without problems.

If the dumb Malis didn't backstab and fought against Mad Mullah to set up a British colony that enabled the creation of Ethiopia, if the dumb Beja tribes didn't cause internal unrest within the leadership that caused the collapse of the Mahdist state and if the Abyssinian monarch didn't find out about Iyasu V being a Muslim and they fought in the same timeline, there would've been a huge empire or a union stretching from Southern Egypt all the way right down to Northern Kenya (there were no borders back then).

I'm 100% certain that this would happen. :wowsweat: :wow1:

The rest of the islands in the South Red Sea and the gulf of Aden belongs to the Empire.

The top arrow shows a demilitarized zone imposed by the Madhist so Northern Egypt doesn't attempt to take the South in the near future. The arrow on the bottom shows a Zinzaabari region that was taken with the advice of Hawiye navy general to secure the strategic point of the longest coast.

The Mahdi was an insane man. He killed many different tribes all across Sudan who rebelled or refused to become apart of his army.
Understandable when you have England, Belgium, France, Italy, Egypt (British puppets) and Abyssinia encroaching your lands.

That's the last thing it would be in your mind. :draketf:

Generally speaking that is how he managed to unify all of the tribes in Sudan. He had a policy of, either fight with me or be put to the sword. There is no point in romanticising the Mahdi state because of the tribal dynamics that we suffer in Sudan today.

Also it was beyond dumb including in the Bejas and tribes from Darfur into one whole state together as these groups all have different cultures and genetics from one another.
