The Mahdist State was primarily weakened by what following Muhammad Ahmad's death?
Autocratic rule
Economic collapse
Natural disasters
Foreign invasion
Answer
The answer: autocratic rule, refers to the governance style adopted by Abdullah al-Taashi, the successor of Muhammad Ahmad. Al-Taashi's centralized and oppressive rule alienated many Sudanese tribes and religious leaders, leading to internal divisions and weakening the foundation of the Mahdist State. This shift from the consultative leadership of Muhammad Ahmad contributed to the decline and eventual fall of the state.
