1887 Area C1887 Emin Equatorial Found Governor Member Pasha Ruled Sudan
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a member of the Shuli Tribe, an ethnic group native to the Central African region that came under the rule of Emin Pasha, the Egyptian Governor of the Equatorial Province, around 1887. The Shuli people inhabited the area that is now modern-day South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Emin Pasha had been appointed as the governor of the Egyptian Equatorial Province in 1879, and during his tenure, he led several military expeditions to expand Egyptian control over the region. The Shuli Tribe is known for their distinctive cultural practices and appearance. In this image, the man is shown wearing a traditional loincloth, adorned with beads and other decorative elements. He carries a spear and a shield, which were essential tools for hunting and self-defense in the region. The engraving provides a historical snapshot of the Shuli people during a time when they were coming into contact with European explorers and colonizers. Emin Pasha's rule in the region was marked by a complex and often tumultuous relationship with European powers. He relied on European support to maintain his position, but also sought to assert Egyptian sovereignty over the area. The Shuli people, like many other African ethnic groups, were caught in the middle of these power struggles and faced significant disruption to their traditional ways of life. This engraving offers a rare glimpse into the history of the Shuli Tribe during a time of great change and upheaval. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Central Africa and the complex historical dynamics that shaped the region in the late 19th century.
