Egypt was simultaneously colonized by Britain and eager to recolonize the Sudan.

Evidence

The chapter concludes with the ways in which Sudanese figures debated the issue of unity with Egypt under the watchful eyes of British administrators in the Sudan, and a discussion of how the dualism of the colonized colonizer was viewed by people in the Sudan, nominally colonized by both Great Britain and Egypt. — Eve M.

A further irony in the situation was the way Fawzï justified his right to high rank through his actions as a colonizing officer of the Egyptian army. If anything clearly emerges from these parallels it is that the idea of colonialism was much more fluid, much less dependent on the European model. After all, Egyptians in 1882 were negotiators familiar with the Ottoman Empire and fearful of the threat of European colonization, and yet also eager to see themselves as a nation in a synonymous position of power. — Eve M.
