Muhammad Sharif Pasha and Petras Pasha, because the establishment of these courts was a desire in the heart of the minister, Ismail Pasha, and also these courts had a group of Belgian and Moldavian judges, to prevent the great powers from interfering in their affairs and monopolizing them, or as something that was intended to find a solution to a deadlock, such as the granting of concessions, and its reins were loosened because it was a great obstacle in the way of extending English protection over the country and removing it from the oversight of the state. I was at the time of the selection for the position of judge in this Mansoura, then for the position of Public Prosecutor there. These courts proceeded secretly and diligently, and the determination of all their men intensified with the freedom they gained in work and thought, so the people rejoiced greatly and denied Dovern's actions, and thanked Minister Muhammad Sharif Pasha for his care and were optimistic about the good outcome. And while they were in this state, English dispatches arrived, and at that time Lord Granville informed Dovern to separate all Sudanese territories from the Egyptian Kingdom and leave them to the Mahdist claimant without any return or compensation. Dovern obeyed the order and spoke to Minister Muhammad Sharif Pasha about it, but he did not agree and said, "This will not happen, not while there is a drop of blood in my veins." Dovern was shocked and did not speak. The matter became serious for Dovern, and he magnified it and spoke to Ismail Pasha about the minister's mistake and stubbornness. Then he sent to Malet, and he explained to them what was conveyed to him. Then a clear disagreement arose between him and the minister, and signs of estrangement appeared, and Malet began to plot, while the minister, with a calm heart and a peaceful mind, was not disturbed by any of this. Then Dovern intensified his demands and began to close all avenues of hope for the minister, until he begged for forgiveness and lost his patience, and submitted to Ismail Pasha his resignation from the position of minister. Ismail Pasha agreed to this in the presence of the ministers. He said to him, "Did you resign before?" Then he said to Minister Dovern, "I am innocent of the blood that will be shed for these wicked goals. Appoint whomever you wish as minister, and God is behind what you do." Some writers said that Dovern advised Ismail Pasha to appoint Minister Nubar Pasha. Nubar Pasha obeyed the order, but he was unable to openly separate Sudan from Egypt. (A point of interest) The people were amazed by what Minister Muhammad Sharif Pasha did, and their admiration for him increased, and their love for him grew. Most of the news writers began to say, "Muhammad," under the name of "telegrams," praising him from every corner. And the politicians, the English and the French, claimed to have understood from him what was true in his affiliation and what they understood from his great policies. And among the statements of those who were chosen, I said: He refers to one of their news papers, saying: "I visited Minister Muhammad Sharif Pasha at his home after his retirement from the ministry. He spoke to me at length about all the issues he faced in the name of reconciliation with everyone. And we in Egypt did not know, perhaps it was due to his lying to his elders. Then he said to me, breathing heavily, "The distant ones have made me, and you have left me to act as I see fit." The fourth part) - 46 -
