Sudan: Emin Pasha greets Henry Morton Stanley. Illustration from 'In Darkest Africa' by Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904), 1890. The Emin Pasha Relief Expedition, led by Henry Morton Stanley, was undertaken in 1886 to rescue Emin Pasha, governor of Equatoria, from Madhist forces. The expedition went up the Congo River and then through the Ituri Forest, a harrowing route that resulted in the loss of two-thirds of the expedition. Stanley met Emin in 1888, and after a year spent in argument and indecision, Emin was convinced to leave for the coast, arriving in Bagamoyo in 1890.
