1876 CE to 1887 CE

Gordon, who had been appointed by Isma'il, resigns as governor-general of Sudan in 1880 after lsma'il's removal in 1879.

Gordon's suc­cessors lack direction from Cairo and fear the political turmoil that had engulfed Egypt; consequently, they fail to continue the policies he had put into place.

The illegal slave trade revives, although not suf­ficiently to satisfy the merchants whom Gordon had put out of busi­ness.

The Sudanese army suffers from a lack of resources, and unemployed soldiers from disbanded units trouble garrison towns.

Tax collectors arbitrarily increase taxation.
