The Battle of Tamai (or Tamanieh) took place on March 13, 1884 between a British force under Sir Gerald Graham and a Mahdist Sudanese army led by Osman Digna. The British were victorious, at the cost of heavy losses. Despite his earlier victory at El Teb, Graham realised that Osman Digna's force was far from broken and that he still enjoyed support among the local population. Accordingly, a second expedition departed from Suakin on 10 March in order to defeat the Mahdists definitively.

  • The Battle of Tamai (or Tamanieh) took place on March 13, 1884 between a British force under Sir Gerald Graham and a Mahdist Sudanese army led by Osman Digna. The British were victorious, at the cost of heavy losses. Despite his earlier victory at El Teb, Graham realised that Osman Digna's force was far from broken and that he still enjoyed support among the local population. Accordingly, a second expedition departed from Suakin on 10 March in order to defeat the Mahdists definitively. The force was composed of the same units that had fought at El Teb: 4,500 men, with 22 guns and 6 machine guns. The Mahdists had roughly 10,000 men, most of them belonging to Osman Digna's Hadendoa tribe (known to British soldiers as "Fuzzy Wuzzies").
  • La bataille de Tamai est livrée le 13 mars 1884 pendant la guerre des Mahdistes au Soudan. Une armée britannique formée en carré attaque les positions mahdistes. Les guerriers soudanais se ruent sur leurs ennemis et parviennent à rompre l'un des carrés et à s'emparer de plusieurs canons de campagne. Cependant, la discipline et la puissance de feu des Britanniques leur permet de redresser la situation, de reprendre leur artillerie et de remporter la victoire.
