The Mahdi Uprising (or Mahdiya) was a rebellion against Egyptian rule in the Sudan provinces that lasted from 1881 to 1899 - led by the Islamic political leader Muhammad Ahmad, who had declared himself the Mahdi (a kind of Islamic messiah). It is considered the first - at least briefly - successful uprising of an African population group against colonialism and led to the formation of the "Caliphate of Omdurman" (also Mahdi Empire or Empire of the Mahdi) at the end of the 19th century. The Mahdists conquered large parts of the country until 1885 and were only defeated by an Anglo-Egyptian force in 1898. - Wikipedia -
