Egyptian Sudan 112 In the Inspectorate General of Upper Egypt, we find the Inspector General is Egyptian and his deputy is English. In the Inspectorate General of Lower Egypt, the Inspector and his deputy are English. All of these were in place until 1927. As Owen O'Malley said, the English have placed the Nile as a yoke around Egypt's neck and a fetter on its leg, preventing its independence. The debt and its books have made the nation demand its independence. This has led them to seek this independence in all its parts, and the nation behind them supports and backs them with all its might.
