EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, British infantry soldiers are seen marching in formation through the streets of Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan. The scene is set in the early 1910s, following the British conquest of Sudan in 1898, which came after the famous Battle of Omdurman led by General Horatio Kitchener against the Mahdist Army. The soldiers, dressed in their full military regalia, are seen in ranks, their faces expressionless as they focus on their commanding officer, who leads them forward. The sun casts long shadows on the dusty ground, and the palm trees lining the streets add a sense of exoticism to the scene. Khartoum had been under British control for over a decade by this time, and the presence of the British military was a constant reminder of their rule. The soldiers were responsible for maintaining law and order, as well as overseeing the administration of the region. The British colonization of Sudan was a significant event in African history, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the British military presence in the region. The soldiers' disciplined march reflects the order and control that the British sought to impose on the territory, while the palm trees and African landscape serve as a reminder of the unique cultural and geographical context in which this history unfolded. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the complex and often contentious relationship between European powers and Africa in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It invites us to reflect on the legacy of colonialism and the ongoing impact of British rule on the people of Sudan and the broader African continent.
