Egyptian Sudan 80 The Egyptians were appointed, and the Sudanese government appeared in its true form, meaning it was purely an English government. When some Sudanese learned this, they placed the appointed officials in the same position as the Egyptians and replaced them. Thus, Lord Salisbury's statement was proven correct, when Lord Kimberley, the leader of the opposition, asked him in a session on February 6, 1899, "Has Sudan indeed become a part of the British Empire?" He replied, "It will take some time before Sudan becomes calm and secure, like Cawnpore or Penang. And if the questioner mentions Lord William the Conqueror, a man famous in England's history, they called him 'the Conqueror' before he conquered all the regions of England and Gaul."

Similarly, England owned Sudan, and Sudan was a part of the British Empire before England had any hand in it, and before England deceived Egypt concerning it.

The Governor-General of the administration decreed, and all the heads of the Sudanese government were chosen from the English. They launched a severe attack on the Egyptians, their partners in Sudan, by appointing one of them to a high position. In 1910, they decided to form a General Council or Shura Council for the Governor to assist him in governing, due to the expansion of interests and affairs in that country. They formed this council exclusively from the English. Here is the text of the regulation they established for it: "Whereas the agreement concluded on January 19, 1899, between the government of Her Late Majesty the Queen of England and the government of His Highness the Khedive, has entrusted the Governor-General with supreme military and civil authority in Sudan and granted him the powers specified therein. And whereas, with the approval of the aforementioned governments, it was deemed appropriate to establish a joint council to assist in the exercise of executive and legislative authority."

It was therefore ordered that: 1. This law shall be called the Law of the General Governing Council of 1910.
