Religious leader Muhammad ibn Abdalla, the self-proclaimed
Mahdi (Messiah), attempted to unify the tribes of western and
central Sudan in the 1880s. He led a nationalist revolt culminating
in the fall of Khartoum in 1885, in which the British General Gordon
was killed. The Mahdist state survived until being overwhelmed by
an Anglo-Egyptian force under Lord Kitchener in 1898. Britain ran
Sudan as two essentially separate colonies, the south and the
north, until 1956.
