Toshka Battle: Al-Nagoumi vs Egypt 1889
On August 3, 1889, the Battle of Toski took place, marking a pivotal point in Sudanese history. It led to the end of the Mahdist State, which was led by Muhammad Ahmad al-Danagali, known as the Mahdi, after he waged a revolt against the Egyptian presence in Sudan. The battle began when Abdel Rahman al-Nujumi, leading 13,000 fighters, set out to invade Egypt. However, he faced a crushing defeat at the village of Toski at the hands of the Egyptian army, resulting in Nujumi's death and the collapse of the Mahdist legend and their state. Ironically, the young Abdullah Pasha al-Nujumi, who was sleeping in his father's bag after the battle, was later raised in Egypt and graduated from its military schools, eventually becoming the commander of the Royal Guard and the chief of the courtiers.
