Mahdist State

Did they really control all this land? The Sudanese Mahdi was definitely impressive for sure lol. His only problem seemed to be that he kept pissing off too many colonial empires & because of that his state got rekted sadly.

I NEED to find a map as detailed as the one shown on the Mahdist page wikia on Somaliweyn or the Horn just before the scramble for Africa & maybe a Dervish map too and the lands they liberated.

Damn. The Sudanese even looted Gondor
Abdallahi ibn Muhammad sacked Gondar when he invaded Ethiopia June 1887 and the city was ravaged by Sudanese invaders that set fire to almost every one of the city's churches.

Sadly during the Mahdist state, Sudan's population dropped massively.

From 7 million to 2-3 million.

4-5 million deaths in the span of 20 years

It was a disaster.

Damn what caused the drop? I know the Mahdist state expanded onto South Sudan and the Anglo Sudan state didn’t include it so..
