THE NUBIS OF KIBERA EMIN PASHA In 1877 a German Jewish doctor turned Muslim later know as EMIN PASHA was sent to southern sudan as Governor of Equatoria. He also had a hard tym controlling his stations and undisciplined soldiers. In 1881 the long awaited Mahdi rose in northern Sudan and managed with massive support from the sudanese pple to defeat the Egyptian army. Enim pasha withdrew with his remaining soldiers to the forts along the Nile nd whn in 1885 Khartoum fell to the Mahadist (N/B THIS WAS THE BIRTH OF THE EAST AFRICAN NUBIS) This is an important episode in the history of the nubis, without the rise of the mahad nd the subsequent isolation of the soldiers in the south of sudan the nubis would probably not exist.
