Egyptian Sudan 8 placed it as a sanjak in Khartoum, and it includes the Equatorial Province, northern Uganda, the Lado Province, Makalla, and Bahr al-Nuzul, which are Egyptian territories leased by the English government by agreement of May 14, 1894, to the Belgian Congo. The current borders of Egyptian Sudan are: from the north, the line of 22 degrees north latitude to north of Halaib, and from the south, the borders of Uganda belonging to England on the line of 5 degrees north latitude, and from the east, the Red Sea and the lands of Eritrea and Abyssinia, and from the west and southwest, the Great Desert and the lands of Wadi and the intermediate mountains between the Congo River and Bahr al-Nuzul. The length from north to south is about 1200 miles and from east to west about 1000 miles, because the Equatorial Province, of which Emin Pasha remained an Egyptian governor in, with two thousand Egyptian soldiers, money, and scribes, was detached from Sudan and attached to Uganda, which was under Egypt's protection. After the restoration of Sudan, they made another boundary for Egyptian Sudan. What remained of the Sudanese Egyptian territories in the south were attached to Uganda, and Lado and its surroundings were given to the King of Belgium, on the condition that they would return to the English after his death. Thus, they detached 400 miles in length and 400 miles in width from Egyptian Sudan, and removed the lakes from which the Nile originates, making them their property to control Sudan and Egypt together. This was not enough for them, as the Red Sea and its coasts are essential for the empire's communication routes. So they removed the Egyptians from those coasts after Egypt's reins fell into their hands. Thus, they destroyed the Egyptian Empire in Sudan, took their share, and divided the spoils with Italy and Belgium. The area of Egyptian Sudan in 1883 was equal to the area of France, Spain, and Germany combined. Only a third remained, not two-thirds. This third, the English claim to own without Egypt. Egypt's trade with Sudan was significant.
