EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting photograph captures the damaged remains of The Mahdi's Tomb in Omdurman, Sudan. The tomb, a significant religious site for the Sudanese people, was the final resting place of Muhammad Ahmad, who declared himself the Mahdi or the expected one, in 1881. In his reform of Islam, the Mahdi abolished the pilgrimage to Mecca and instead called for holy war against unbelievers. The tomb was severely damaged during the British conquest of Sudan in 1898, led by General Kitchener. In an attempt to crush the Mahdist resistance, Kitchener's forces bombarded the tomb with artillery, leaving it with numerous holes and extensive damage, as depicted in this photograph from the 1910s. Despite the destruction, the tomb was eventually rebuilt in 1947 as a replica of the original. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the tumultuous history of Sudan and the enduring significance of The Mahdi and his movement to the Sudanese people.
