Postage stamps and postal history of Sudan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Postage stamps and postal history of Sudan
The first post offices to be opened in Sudan were in 1867 at Suakin and Wadi Halfa; in 1873 at Dongola, Berber and Khartoum; and in 1877 at Sennar, Karkouk, Fazoglu, Elkedaref, El Obeid, Al-Fasher and Fashoda (now Kodok).〔Gisburn, Harold G. D. & Thompson, G. Seymour, ''Stamps and Posts of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan'', Stanley Gibbons, 1947, p. 18〕 The Mahdist revolt, which began in 1881, resulted in all Egyptian post offices being closed by 1884. It culminated in the fall of Khartoum and the death of the British governor General Gordon (Gordon of Khartoum) in 1885. The Egyptians and British withdrew their forces from Sudan and the country was left with no postal service until the reconquest of Sudan began in 1896. When the campaign started in March 1896, postal service was made available to the troops but no stamps were used.〔(Sudan's First Stamps )〕 ==First stamps used== Until the issue of Sudan stamps in 1897 the available stamps were Egyptian stamps. The amount of mail was small and only a few stamps were used. Between March and July 1885 2½d and 5d British postage stamps were used in Suakin. Indian stamps are also known to have been used in the same area, postmarked Sawakin or Souakin, between 1884 and 1899.〔Stamps and Posts of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, p.19-20〕
