A Sudanese private trader conquered Darfur and became a regional governor

Evidence

But such exchanges were themselves fraught with many levels of meaning and interpretation, as the expedition learned when they approached the territory of the White Nile where the Kik tribe lived. … But the exchange deteriorated when the tribe shortly thereafter mobi- lized to fight the soldiers, who quickly killed a number of them — Eve M.

Although the Mahdï denounced the Turkïya as a tyrannical administra- tion, many Sudanese traders and sometimes entire northern tribes benefited from it. Notable among these were the Jaaliyün, the Danäqla, and the Shayqïya. There were Sudanese individuals who profited enormously from the changes wrought by the administration, like the Jaalï trader al-Zubayr Rahman Pasha Mansur, who eventually became governor of Därfür, and Ahmad Bey Awad al-Karïm Abu Sinn, who served as governor of Khartoum from 1860 to 1870. — <cite>Eve M.
