Under the new government established in 1821, which was known as the Turkiyah or Turkish regime, soldiers lived off the land and exacted exorbitant taxes from the population.
The Turkiyah also won the allegiance of some tribal and religious leaders by granting them a tax exemption.
There is little documentation for the history of the southern Sudanese provinces until the introduction of the Turkiyah in the north in the early 1820s and the subsequent extension of slave raiding into the south.

  Turkiyah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a pashalik of the Ottoman Empire, Egypt had been divided into several provinces, each of which was placed under a Mamluk bey (governor) reponsible to the pasha, who in turn answered to the Porte, the term used for the Ottoman government referring to the Sublime Porte, or high gate, of the grand vizier's building.

Although the Egyptians were fearful of the deteriorating conditions, the British refused to get involved, "Her Majesty’s Government are in no way responsible for operations in the Sudan", the Foreign Secretary Earl Granville noted.
Even after the Mahdi proclaimed a jihad, or holy war, against the Turkiyah, he was dismissed as a religious fanatic.
The government paid more attention when his religious zeal turned to denunciation of tax collectors.

 Sudan
The new government was known as the Turkiyah or Turkish regime.
Although Egypt claimed all of the present Sudan during most of the 19th century, and established a province Equatoria in southern Sudan to further this aim, it was unable to establish effective control over the area, which remained an area of fragmented tribes subject to frequent attacks by slave raiders.
In the later years of the Turkiyah, the British missionarys traveled from what is now modernday Kenya in to the Sudd to convert the local tribes to Christianaty.
