Capital Enclave Huts Sudan Sudanese
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the charming and historic village of Lado, once the capital of the Lado Enclave in Sudan during the late 1910s. The enclave, which was situated along the White Nile River, was a unique political entity that was under the protection of the British Empire. The round, mud huts in the image are a testament to the traditional Sudanese architecture, which has been a distinctive feature of the region for centuries. The village of Lado was an important trading center, where goods from various parts of Africa were exchanged. The fertile land around the village supported agriculture, and the inhabitants were known for their cultivation of crops such as sorghum, millet, and cotton. The White Nile River, which flows in the background, provided a vital source of water for irrigation and transportation. Despite its strategic location and economic significance, Lado was a small and isolated community. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the Sudanese people during this era, showcasing their simple yet resilient way of living. The women in the image can be seen carrying water from the river, while the men are engaged in various activities such as farming and crafting. The Lado Enclave existed until 1956, when it was merged with the rest of Sudan following the country's independence. Today, Lado is a cherished piece of history, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Sudan and its people.
