the two tier education system Class had established
Woooooof, that's a big history of mess on top of mess leading to one bigger mess. The churning alliances and betrayals just in Buganada are amazing.

I'm writing the Sudan series now, I think it'll be 3 articles, maybe even 4, and I think the first one won't even get to the Mahdi, it'll be about the ways the Sudanese Wars effected what became French Africa from the fall of Bornu to the Voulet-Chanoine Mission (which I may need to ask @Redolegna about because English language sources aren't brilliant on it).
Those two were so infamous they actually were mentioned in middle school, I think.
What if Aguirre got mixed with The Man Who Would be King and it ended up worse than in either case.
Do those 600 cut-off men that Lugard recruited have something to do with Emin Pasha, or was that a different thing?
These articles are fascinating. They also need with my understanding of African geography rather a lot. The Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan occupy very different places in my head. The fact that a column from the latter retreated to the former confuses my little brain.
Which, if nothing else, shows my limited understanding of African geography.
Africa does feel like the go-to example of "names which can mean either a very big or a very small place, or completely different places, in different eras of history". Besides Sudan, there's "Ethiopia", "Libya", "Congo" and arguably "Africa" itself.Want your mind blown? Mali was called the French Sudan.
I've enjoyed this series a lot. Just wanted to say that. Another great read as usual.
