The importance and readiness for peace after the book were shown, so he made the movement between the soldiers appear, and they seemed to go back and forth between Alexandria and Cairo and under the Citadel of the Mountain. The Takrur people arrived with their burdens and loads, their weapons and their beasts. Those who were with the Khedivial Guard in Abdeen Square departed, and the Egyptian army was mobilized. It was only a few days until rumors spread that a group of Dervishes had descended to our region, intending to march on Aswan. Cairo was agitated, and sedition appeared among the people of that region. The caller came asking for urgent reinforcements, so they quickly sent a large contingent of them to the region to prevent the enemy and stationed them in positions. And by reason, they had taken it. They asked for Anis, but the troops were of good lineage. The Sultan turned away from the encouragement of the states, and remained as usual, watching the Persians. The people knew it was a trick of departure. The vast majority suspected the vizier Nubar Pasha of evil and accused him of treason. The newspaper owners returned to their newspapers, which were: "Remove Vizier Nubar Pasha from his post, and return Vizier Muhammad Sharif Pasha to the presidency." This showed the spread of sabotage among the people. Some inciting papers were seen posted on the walls of some government buildings. The news was circulated by foreign newspapers and they greatly admired it. It was only a few days after that that Vizier Muhammad Sharif Pasha fell ill, and his reign was cut short. News was brought to him, and they advised him to leave Cairo quickly and travel up the Nile to Upper Egypt. This event saddened the people, and their rumors spread far and wide. Some said he was ill with fever, some said he was ill with liver disease, some said he had heard of poisoning, and others said something else. The vizier traveled on a passenger steamer to Upper Egypt. He died, but they did not betray him, to no avail, as his illness intensified and his sickness grew. The doctors advised him to travel to European countries, so he traveled with a group of followers to Trieste and stayed there, and all the people prayed for his safety and return to his position, the presidency. It was only a few days until the news of his death came, and all the people grieved and mourned. The Khedive summoned Vizier Nubar Pasha to expedite the government offices, mourning him. The chief of the dignitaries, the Khedive, in particular, went to Trieste on a special steamer to bring the body to Egypt. His arrival was awaited, and he was loved and dear to him. They sat in his house to receive him until his body arrived on a ship chartered by his son before the Egyptian ship arrived. However, the ship arrived, and the people rushed from all directions to walk in front of his coffin. The strong men, sheikhs, and scholars walked, then the ranks of the army and navy, and the men of the Khedivial Guard, preceded by the music of the Mahrousa steamer, then the notables of the country and its dignitaries, of various races, then the students of the schools. They continued to carry the coffin, and the people on both sides of the road followed him until they reached the New Gate station, where he was placed on a special train. The train traveled to Cairo. When it arrived, a group of Egyptian soldiers carried the coffin and walked with the procession in a majestic and wonderfully organized manner. The tears of the people flowed, and they were truly moved to tears.
