London, Sept. 9. -There were
no wounded M ahdists left after the
battle of Omdurman. Cruel and
I bloodthirsty as it may seem, the
I wounded almost without excep
i ti vn, were massacred by the British
land Egyptian soldiers.
Massacred is a hard word to use,
but it is the only one fitting. Om
durinan was not the first battle
where this has been dona. Since
Gordon’s death it has been the
custom, because, as they say, a
wounded fanatic is more dangers
ous than a well one.
Somany British officers and sur
geons have In en killed or wound
ed while pissing over battlefield
of the Soudan, trying to help tht
suffering Mahdists, that mercy and
pity have g ; ven way to necessary
cruelty.
This killing of the wounded has
been practiced with silent con
nivance of the British Govern
ment, but kept from the public.
Hi* many wounded Dervishes
Were put to death after the battle
of Omdurman will never b“
k miwri.
Only one London newspaper
makes ine'tion <»( the slugbter,
throu o .i a leading editor asked
about it merely sfe-ugged his
shon ders and said.
.“Certainly, it is true. They al
ways do it in ihe Soudan for safe
ty, but wa shall say nothing about
it in onr columns. ”
'lhe Loudon Standard guardedly
tells or the slaughter as follows. '
“Some of the Sirdar’s Soudanese
were cautuusly makiug theii* way
fidd of battle, their
duty being <ne which, however
hateful it may seem to theoretical
humanitarians, warfare against
the savage followers of the Khal
ifa makes imperative. There is no
need to dw 11 on such mcidents.lt
is enough to say, as everyone with
experieu ce of fighting in the Sou
dan knows too well, a wounded
Baggaru may often be a more dan
gerous foe than a Baggara without
a scratch on uiin. Concealing his
ng my and feigning di ath he can
still deal a fatal blow at his un
weary enemy. ’’
This is why there is no mention
of wounded among the Dervishes
in the Sirdar’s report.
