He did not submit to Emin Pasha's departure from Wadelai, even after being offered a bribe of twelve thousand gold pieces. The great Amir, after concluding the agreement and writing to a friend of his among the kings' companions and those of influence in the German Sultanate, said: "By God, I can no longer maintain silence and secrecy regarding one who does not conceal his joy in the rights of the nation. So, Stanley presented to me the envoys of that ambitious company with two options. Either I leave my position in the service of the Egyptian government and enter the service of the King of the Countries in the Congo colony with the rank of commander, with my authority extended over Wadelai, and I ask for what I want in terms of annual salary, in addition to the twelve thousand pounds that will be allocated as expenses for administration. Or, I provide him with an army of Sudanese to march with him as their commander, on behalf of that German company, numbering no less than four thousand, to march with him, meaning with Stanley, to the southwest of Lake Victoria Nyanza, occupy the Congo, and establish a center there if they find it suitable. Stanley will go to Mombasa during that time to bring me two trustworthy men to transport me with a contingent of my army to the regions of Uganda and Unyoro. So that if we conquer that region, it will be a center for us, from which we will gradually advance to Wadelai, the seat of my old government, then I will unite the two countries and rule them in the name of the German African Company, not in the name of the Egyptian government." He said: "The Englishman, meaning Stanley, insisted on my entering the service of that company and detailing it to the Egyptian government. His wealth was a great expense, and it was very difficult for the man to remain in his seat of authority with him.

Therefore, he has made up his mind and is firmly resolved either to force them to accept one of the two options, or to satisfy him, to live his life and rest in the African continent, or to take all my provisions and supplies, or to wage war, and to leave me with no provisions or weapons, and to help him reluctantly and sadly. He thought he had spoken his mind and achieved his goal, and fate helped him to advance the claws of that lion. But his hopes have been dashed and his dreams have been ruined. And today I am returning to the German narrative in those regions, and God is behind what they do." I said: "When Stanley arrived in Cairo, he advised the Englishman and the minister to send envoys to the Sultan of Zanzibar to request Emin Pasha, and that if he came to him, he would detain him and prevent him from returning to Wadelai. They did not all agree on this, given Emin Pasha's standing and influence among the Germans and the respect of the people. For that outcry that reached the heavens from the English group to awaken the chivalrous and honorable people to capture Emin Pasha and rescue those with him is not for the sake of kinship in anything, nor is it for the sake of God Almighty. And the German state's interest in those regions and in Emin Pasha's campaign was evident. I went to great lengths to follow it up, increased the preparations and war equipment for it, and assisted Emin Pasha in extending his hand over the regions of Nyanza and its wealth, along with Wadelai, so that nothing would remain or be lost. I sent him a group of..."
