| Description: | Colonialism; imperialism; international relations. Anglo-Egyptian rule of Sudan; 1920s. Pan left on huge crowd of African ( quite dark-skinned) men in robes & turbans on camels; moving slowly to left en masse; then stopping; desert landscape. Closer shot panning on the some of the men sitting close together on camels. Next; uniformed soldiers (Arab?) riding camels; carrying rifles & some holding British Union Jack flags; with them are a few British soldiers. My guess is that the first group of men are Sudanese; the second are Egyptian Arabs; the Sudan was officially co-governed by Egypt & Great Britain; though of course in reality the British did the real governing. British Empire. | |
