Mek Nimr

After first having joined the Egyptian army during the Turkish rule in Sudan, he later defeated their troops and finally went into exile.

During the Egyptian invasion of Sudan, Nimr was forced to accept the Egyptian-Turkish rule by submitting to Isma'il Kamil Pasha's army on 28 March 1821.

After this campaign, Isma'il retired to Shendi, but paid the sixty year-old Mek Nimr no courtesy.

[3] Later, Isma'il's successor, Defterdar Muhammad Bey Khusraw led a revenge campaign on the Ja'alin.

[4] A street in downtown Khartoum is named after him, leading up to El Mek Nimr Bridge since its opening in 2007.
