"In 1886 Stanley led the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition to rescue Emin Pasha,
the governor of Equatoria in the southern Sudan. This was his third journey
into Africa. Whilst on the way to meet Emin, which he finally did in 1888,
he 'discovered' the Ruwenzori mountain range and Lake Edward. He emerged from
the interior with Emin and his surviving followers at the end of 1890. Where as
other expeditions by Stanley were deemed to be successes, this expedition was to
tarnished Stanley's reputation."
