Sennar was the capital of the Old Fundj Sultanate and a major political center in the eastern Sudan. Its ruler had become largely a figurehead by 1820, yet the sultan remained the country’s legal sovereign until the Turco-Egyptian invasion. Sennar later became one of the sites of resistance to Turkiyya, including the 1844 revolt involving Sudanese soldiers.

Le récit
Sennar served as the capital of the Old Fundj Sultanate, whose authority extended across an important part of the eastern Sudan. By 1820, the sultan of Sennar had been reduced to a figurehead, reflecting the political weakening and fragmentation of the Fundj order. Despite this decline, the sultan retained legal sovereignty over the country until the invasion carried out in the name of the Ottoman sultan.
The city remained connected to the political struggles that followed the establishment of Turkiyya. It was one of the places where Sudanese soldiers took part in the coordinated rising of 1844, alongside Khartoum, Kamlin, and Medani. Medani’s rebels fled to Sennar after rising prematurely and continued the revolt there.
