EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at Khartoum, the capital and second largest city of Sudan and Khartoum state, during the Mahdist War in the late 1880s. The image shows a stretch of the White Nile and Blue Nile, with their waters meeting at the al-Mogran, or Confluence. The Mahdist forces, led by the Mahdi Muhammad Ahmad ibn Abd Allah, had laid siege to Khartoum in 1883, and the city would remain under their control until its eventual capture by British forces in 1898. In this photograph, the scrubland and small buildings opposite the riverbanks can be seen, with boats moored along the banks. The White Nile, flowing north from Lake Victoria, and the Blue Nile, flowing west from Ethiopia, converge at Khartoum, creating a unique topography that has shaped the city's history and development. The main Nile continues to flow north towards Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea. Khartoum is a tripartite metropolis, consisting of Khartoum proper and linked by bridges to Khartoum North and Omdurman to the west. The city had an estimated overall population of over five million people at the time of this photograph. The Mahdist War marked a significant period in the history of Sudan, with the Mahdist state ruling the country until its defeat by British forces in 1898. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the city's past, as it stood at the heart of a complex and turbulent era in Sudanese history.
