The Mahdist was revolting due to the brutal nature of the British rulers. Muhamad Ali of Sudan had faced the resent of the local people due to the huge amount of taxes they were liable to pay to the Egyptian government at that time. Mahdist war was actually a military arrangement by the side of English and Egyptian force. Actually, the methods used by the rulers there were brutal and the native people of those places were literally scared of the rulers (Fleischer, 2018). In addition to this, the rulers of these places were closely associated with the slave trade and they supply the native people to the so-called developed countries.
