Egyptian Sudan 42 A force, and General succeeded, and these three reasons proved "Sudan" in his book "The Mahdiya and Sudan". But Egypt remained capable of suppressing sedition after 1882, were it not for the British sending their men to take charge. So, Hobart Pasha wrote to The Times on February 3, 1885, saying: "Now the Sudan revolt has become a religious war waged by Muslims against Christians who have extended their hand to possess this country." But the colonial officials remained convinced that the revolt was successful due to the injustice of Egyptian officials. When Abd al-Qadir Pasha was sent in 1883 to Khartoum, the rebels were defeated for the first time and settled in the Sinnar region, then he defeated them a second time, and victory was sweet for him everywhere despite the small number of his soldiers. But this did not please the British, so they suggested appointing Alaa al-Din Pasha as governor of Sudan and launched Hicks' expedition under the command of Sulayman Niazi Pasha. And Sulayman Niazi Pasha was ordered to follow Hicks' instructions, but they saw fit to dismiss him from his position because he was a military man and it was possible that he would dispute Hicks' will. They appointed Alaa al-Din Pasha, who was not a military man, so that he would submit and obey. The result was the loss of the entire expedition and the uprising of all of Sudan to revolt, so that Gordon wrote in his memoirs: "When I think of the past of the lives of men in Sudan since 1880, I cannot help but seek revenge from Sir O. Claude Colvin, Sir Edward Malet, and SirTargetFramework, because they are the ones who caused all of this." And Slatin Pasha says that he received orders in 1883 to gather his soldiers in Cairo and to choose one of the ancient royal lineage there, to hand over the country to him and to withdraw from it. British policy did not stop there, but rather ordered Egypt to evacuate Sudan. And it added to the foregoing that the presence of the British in Egypt was necessary for fear of Cairo from the Dervish gangs, as the Dervishes had become organized armies that defeated Egypt, which had been torn apart fifty years earlier by the strongest and most numerous organized armies.
