Abstract:When on 16 June 1910 the Lado Enclave was officially handed over to the Sudan Government authorities, the Southern Sudan, territorially speaking, was at last completely within the jurisdiction of the Sudan Government and the task of consolidating the administration of the south could now begin. During the twelve years between Kitchener's victory on the plains of Karari in 1898 and the taking over of the Lado Enclave in 1910, notwithstanding their preoccupation with French and Congolese pretensions on the Upper Nile, the British administrators sought to control the multitude of diverse, warlike tribes who, proud of their independence, were reluctant to give up their anarchal freedom in return for good government. The present contribution gives a picture of the host of complex problems the British administration had to face in bringing order to the Southern Sudan. Map; bibliographical footnotes.
