Egyptian Sudan.

The African Association raised the flag of Emin Pasha. Stanley, one of the German writers, said to him: "When I reached Emin Pasha, I gave him a choice between three matters: either to remain in Wadelai under the Egyptian government and the English protectorate with a salary of £1,000 per year and a subsidy of £10,000, which is the amount Stanley took from the Egyptian treasury. Or to leave Wadelai for another region to explore the English line of the equator. Or to return with me to Cairo and leave that country. He replied that Stanley offered him to leave his post in the service of the Egyptian government, which he refused. He offered him to lead a group of Sudanese, which he would lead, and then go to Uganda to make it a center. Then he returned to Wadelai with the African Company, not with the government. He refused. He threatened me with his forces and weapons, and I was forced to accompany him. As for Stanley, who gained the Nile sources in the equatorial region for the English, he said: "Now that the African Company has its hand on the equator and the sources of the Nile are in our grasp, after the Egyptians were forced to evacuate Sudan, we can open Sudan with a railway from the Red Sea to the Nile, about 1,000 kilometers long. Then we will go up the Nile to reach Lado, which is 300 kilometers long, and take the White Nile, and then proceed up the Nile until it becomes our property. And thus we will have control over a distance of 1,000 miles and reach the lakes, which are our property, and from which the Nile flows. Thus, Sudan and then Egypt will become English colonies."

There is no doubt that the Germans were competing with the English in those regions, but their defeat in the war put their possessions in the hands of the English, and they did not have the ability to do anything.
