Egypt's Sudan 48 France with the Kufou government to replace it in that region, until the Khedive of Egypt could recover it, and return it to him as it was. In 1895, Sir Edward Grey spoke, demanding Egypt's right, arguing that the English were guardians of its interests. Monsieur Hanotaux responded by denying this to England. Marchand's campaign was proceeding to Sudan, followed by the Egyptian campaign led by Sirdar Kitchener, composed of 24,000 Egyptians and thousands of English. Egypt agreed to this campaign on a current account, and the English treasury granted it to them because France and Russia denied Egypt the right to take money from the debt fund, so that England would force them to declare its plan in Egypt. When Kitchener entered Bahr el Ghazal, England asked France to relinquish Egyptian Sudan, as it was the Sultan's property, and that the English who were helping the Khedive were helping him to recover his country's property. On this basis, France renounced its agreement with the Kufou government until the agreement of January 19, 1899, between England and Egypt, or rather between England and itself, came about. Everyone said it was an agreement that did not conform to any charter or law. But Lord Cromer opened Lord Salisbury's wound because "he did not care about legal text and showed great courage." That date we present in relation, and in it is the correct proof for whoever wants correct proof of one of the links of coercion and severity that occurred in Egypt for a full century until we reached today to hear the English writers saying, "Where are you from Sudan, and Sudan is from you." We even saw the Nile and they almost took it out of Egypt's grasp to be a noose around the necks of its inhabitants. Egypt did not abandon Sudan by evacuating it. Egypt recovered Sudan with its blood and its wealth, and it remains the sole faithful guardian of it, spending on its people for its organization. The Egyptian army and the Egyptian budget are the greatest witnesses for those who wish to bear witness.
