The end of Mahdism - the dead Yakur and his followers beside the Khalifa's black flag. The Mahdist War was a war between the Mahdist Sudanese of the religious leader Muhammad Ahmad bin Abd Allah, who had proclaimed himself 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 nominally joint-rule state of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (1899??1956), a de jure condominium of the British Empire and the Kingdom of Egypt in which Britain had de facto control over the Sudan. The Sudanese launched several unsuccessful invasions of their neighbours, expanding the scale of the conflict to include not only Britain and Egypt but the Italian Empire, the Congo Free State and the Ethiopian Empire. Images shows the Mahdist fighters dead, with vultures circling, after being cut down by the Anglo-Egyptian forces, who were better-equipped at the Battle of Omdurman. Date: 1898
