An Egyptian author blamed Britain for racial discord between black Sudanese and white Egyptians.

Evidence

His report, it was suggested, would recommend such measure of internal self-government for Egypt as might be considered right, but would point out the absurdity of claims made by Egypt to Egyptian Nationalism for the Sudan, stating at the same time how the Sudan differs in race, tradition and sympathy from Egypt, and showing that Egypt’s only legitimate interests in the Sudan are the safe-guarding of her water supply and the protection of her frontiers from external aggression. For these, H.M. Government would assume full responsibility, and, at the same time, take full charge of the Sudan, which would develop on lines of Sudanese Nationalism under British guidance, training and cultivating her institutions and watching over the interests of her people. — Eve M.
