Yeah, that's an interesting part of the story that I'll be able to fill in better when I finish the book (Iain Smith's on the relief expedition). Equatoria was formally under the Khedive's rule - it was not British, and not an independent country. Stan 15:28, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I have been reading "The White Nile" by Alan Moorehead, and prviously read "The Blue Nile. Both books give interesting perspectives on the events discussed in your articles on Equitoria, the Mahdist revolution and the seige of Khartoum. Both books are worthwhile reading and perhaps can be added to the bibliography of these articles.
