Karam Allāh Muḥammad Kurkusāwī

al-Ubaiyaḍ to enlist with the Mahdists.^[1]

In 1884

Dār Fūr rebelled by accepting as refugess some mutinous Mahdists from al-Ubaiyaḍ, Karam Allāh and his brother, Muḥammad Shaikh, led a large army against him.^[3] When the Rizaiqāt chief Madībbū Bey ʿAlī refused a summons, his forces were attacked near Shaqqa. They lost the ensuing battle and Madībbū fled north. He was eventually captured by Yūsuf Ibrāhīm and turned over to Karam Allāh, who sent him on to Omdurman.^[3]

In 1896 he was wounded in the

ʿAlī Dīnār, sultan of Dār Fūr. He was eventually executed at al-Fāṣhar on suspicion of intriguing against the sultan.^[1]
