Egyptian Sudan 2 Rauf Pasha sent an expedition to Harar and captured Emir Muhammad, killing him in September 1875. Harar remained under Egyptian control until it was handed over to the Abyssinians by the Governor of Sudan. The Abyssinians were the cause of the war with the Egyptians and the defeat of the Egyptians at Gura.

In March 1877, Gordon Pasha was succeeded by Ismail Pasha Abu (Governor of Sudan). The revolt of Sultan Harun in Darfur began, and the revolt of Salman, son of Al-Azir, and the revolt of Daud, son of Al-Zain, and the revolt of Al-Sabahi in Darfur. Ismail Pasha began the construction of the railway from Halfa to Khartoum in 1877. But he did not succeed in it.

Tawfiq Pasha succeeded Ismail Pasha in 1879 (when he ascended the throne of Egypt). Gordon Pasha was in Sudan and resigned in September 1879. The revolt broke out in Somalia, and Rauf Pasha took over as his successor in 1880. Harar was captured, followed by the Arab revolt in Sudan, then the revolt of Muhammad Ahmad. Then Ala'a (succeeded Abd al-Qadir Pasha, Rauf Pasha's deputy) in 1881. Then Gordon, whose mission was only to evacuate those lands.

You see from the foregoing that the Egyptians made progress in everything in the Sudanese provinces. They advanced the construction of the railway, opened dams, established schools, planted cotton, abolished slavery and the jizya, and built transportation routes. Ismail Pasha was working on preparing the road from Wadi Halfa to the Equator. The English and Italians were in conflict.

After Sudan was recovered and the Sudan Company was established by Egypt and England in 1899. Abbas Pasha II visited Khartoum in 1900. He delivered his speech, which included thanks to those who built the railway, established the administration, and provided comfort.
