Egyptian demonstrations of 1919 directly catalyzed the first Sudanese nationalist party

Evidence

As these currents of thought reveal, after 1919 the Sudanese had a stronger idea of whose hegemony they preferred than they had of what their own national identity was or who best represented it. But events quickly spiraled, leading to more concrete manifestations of Sudanese nationalism. Inspired by the 1919 demonstrations in Egypt and angered by the enforced separation between Egypt and the Sudan as delineated in the Milner report, a small group of clerks and minor government officials formed the League of Sudanese Union, one of whose members was a Muslim Dinka military cadet named Alï abd al-Latïf.An article he wrote in 1922, called “Self-Determination for the Sudanese,” so angered the British authorities who governed the Sudan that they had him imprisoned. — Eve M.
