The Sudan. By order of the English government. 1. To return to Khartoum and present to Abd al-Qadir Pasha Hassi, who was Minister of War in 1881, the following conditions: The first was to give him 5,000 soldiers, and the second was that the English government should withdraw from Khartoum. They accepted the first condition but not the second, because the goal was not to return Sudan to its mother, Egypt, but to expel those who were in Sudan and to rule it. So he accepted this mission. Abd al-Qadir Pasha took charge of the administration and ruled Sudan from 1881 to 1884, despite his weak forces. They told him that the English had a large army and Egypt had no army. But this did not discourage him until he saw that his successor had arrived in Khartoum and was busy reorganizing Sennar. Abd al-Qadir Pasha has a word that reveals the secret of his dismissal, which is mentioned in the book "Sudan" by its author, Mumtaz Bey Shaker. He said: "I asked Abd al-Qadir Pasha: Why were you summoned from Sudan, and you succeeded in restoring order and peace to its regions?" He replied: "They were driven by greed for independence." This word can only be understood if we return to the prevailing spirit at that time, and that spirit was the spirit of fear of the English remaining in Sudan and using Sudan and its strength to expel the English from the Nile Valley. The Afghan leader, Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, pretended to do so and called for messengers to go to the cities and organize his forces for this purpose. Abd al-Qadir himself sent a group of officials to Khartoum and Sennar, acting on the instructions of Lord Salisbury, the founder of Al-Ahram, regarding the Sudanese revolution. "It is a revolution, or a rebellion, that you, the English, have made your plan and your policy."
