Abstract:Although the followers of the Mahdi were militarily defeated and the Condominium government had firmly outlawed the Mahdist cult, a section of the Sudanese community remained Mahdist at heart. With the exception of the war years, hardly a year passed during the first generation of Condominium rule without a Mahdist rising. But for reasons explained in this article, they all failed to command a popular following and, with the exception of the revolt of al-Kamlin in 1908 and that of Nyala in 1921, none of these risings constituted any real threat to the authority of the government. Notes.
