Abd Al-Rahman Al-Mahdi

By Jesse Russell

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Sayyid Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi (Arabic: عبد الرحمن المهدي ) (1885 - 1959) was one of the leading religious and political figures during the colonial era in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (1898-1955), and continued to exert great authority as leader of the Neo-Mahdists after Sudan became independent. The British tried to exploit his influence over the Sudanese people while at the same time profoundly distrusting his motives. Throughout most of the colonial era of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan the British saw Sayyid Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi as important as a moderate leader of the Mahdists. However, the British would not support him in his ambition to become King of Sudan when the country gained independence.
