Egypt’s colonial rule over Sudan was known to Sudanese as the Turkïya

Evidence

Mitchell, Colonising Egypt, p. 63. 2. Ibid. 3. Ibid., pp. 64–67. 4. The term Ottoman Egyptians, first coined by Toledano in State and Society in Mid–Nineteenth Century Egypt, has come to replace the term Turco- Circassians, used by Hourani and many others to describe the ruling classes of Egypt in the mid– to late nineteenth century. Ottoman Egyptian attributes a greater sense of Egyptian roots to this elite group, many of whom had Circas- sian ancestry but were comfortable in both Turkish and Arabic and considered themselves native to Egypt. Within the context of the Sudan, however, even Arabic-speaking Egyptians were considered Turks, and the term Ottoman Egyp- tians may seem more problematic. — Eve M.
