This is what prompts us to firmly suspect him, and for brevity, we have decided to take a copy of this confession to be recorded here verbatim, relying on the compass of the aforementioned Bakbashy, which is as follows: (Idris, a follower of Abd al-Rahman Bey, imprisoned in the 3rd J. Infantry Battalion, 3rd J. Infantry Expeditionary Force, to Mirallai Izzatlu Effendi - questioned by the aforementioned regarding some incidents in Omdurman. He stated that at times his master, Abd al-Rahman Bey, would leave the fort and secretly meet with the Arabs of Amin Elias Pasha, and generally met him on the river (meaning the River Nile), where we stayed for two days. In addition, he arranged for two of his slaves, Qasim and Ali, to be messengers between him and the Ashqiya. Fearing this, it was necessary to report it to you to take the necessary action regarding the matter. Effendi, October 30, 1883, Stamp of the 3rd J. Bakbashia, 3rd J. Infantry Expeditionary Force). Based on this, His Excellency the Mirallai sent it to His Excellency the Hتكدار for his information. At the same time, we informed His Excellency General Hicks Pasha of this so that he would be aware of what was happening within the army. By the grace of God Almighty, tomorrow, the blessed Wednesday, October 31, 1883, at 1 o'clock in the morning, we set out from the Al-Badriya post, heading towards Alawiya. After marching for half an hour, the Ashqiya began to skirmish with us in the forests until 6:30. We only had one wounded and one killed. As for Abd al-Rahman Bey, we learned after leaving the zariba on the morning of this day from the 2nd J. Bakbashia, 2nd J. Infantry Expeditionary Force, the confession of one of the Bey's followers, which further confirms our suspicion. For brevity, we deemed it necessary to take a copy of the confession to be recorded here verbatim, relying on the compass of the aforementioned Bakbashy, which is as follows: (The person whose name is mentioned below, a follower of Abd al-Rahman Bey, is prepared. My name is Sanad Zul Mulk, in the service of my aforementioned master. What I know well is that a man named Hussein, a merchant from Kordofan, came to my master while we were in Khartoum before we set out on this expedition. He brought him a letter from his father in Kordofan, in a secret manner. His arrival was from Umm Durman, and it was guaranteed that he did not.
