The Battle Of Shaykan

By Dr. Ahmed Gumaa Siddiek

The people of the Soudan had won their freedom by their valour and by the skill and courage of their saintly leader. Winston Churchill in: (River War, file: ///C: /Users/Home/Desktop/The-River-War.pdf). This battle took place in November 5 1883, in Shaykan near Obied, about 600 KM from Khartoum in the West of Sudan; between the Egyptian Army led by the British General Hicks Pasha and some European officers; and the Sudanese army led by Imam Mohammed Ahmed Al-Mahdi. The battle was said to have lasted about 45-63 minutes from the beginning to the end but the actual fighting said to have taken only fifteen minutes as some history books telling the story.
