Khartum is a town in the Eastern Sudan on the left bank of the Bahrel-Azrek, or Blue Nile, close to its confluence with the Bahr-el-Abiad, or White Nile. The town was founded by Mohommed Ali in 1820 or 1821. It is fortified with walls and detached forte." The rainy season extends from the end of July to September, the rains being always accompanied by storms. The town is the centre of considerable commerce.. It has a mixed population estimated in 1888 at between 45,000 and 50,000. Inseparably linked with the town are the named of Gordou and Kitchener, the latter being known as "K. of K."
