Egyptian Sudan. 8 His province." Then France agreed with the Congo government to withdraw from that region until the Khedive of Egypt could reclaim it and return it to him.

Sir Edward Grey spoke, demanding Egypt's right, arguing that the English were responsible for its affairs in 1896. Monsieur Hanotaux refuted this, accusing England. The Egyptian army, led by the Sirdar, consisting of 1,000 Egyptians and 10,000 Sudanese, marched to Sudan. Egypt agreed to this at the expense of its treasury, as France and Russia had previously objected to England's declaration of its intentions in Egypt. When Kitchener reached Berber, England asked France to relinquish Egyptian Sudan, as it belonged to the Sultan and the English who were helping the Khedive were helping him regain his country's possessions. On this basis, France renounced its agreement with the Congo government until an agreement was reached between England and Egypt, or rather between England and itself, in 1898.

Everyone at the time considered it an agreement that did not conform to law or statute. But Lord Cromer praised Lord Salisbury for concluding it, considering it a "legal act" that showed "great courage."

We present this historical event with its details, providing clear evidence for anyone seeking it, of a link in the chain of coercion and severity that characterized the era for a full century, until today we hear English writers saying, "We are finished with Sudan," and even expressing disdain, saying, "Sudan is a burden to us." They claim Sudan was taken from Egypt's loan to be a burden on its neck. Egypt lost Sudan from its hands, leaving it empty. Egypt reclaimed Sudan with its own hands and money, and it alone is the faithful guardian, spending on its people for its organization, the Egyptian army, and the Egyptian budget. This is the greatest witness for those who wish to see.
