Egyptian inaction during the 1924 revolt destroyed Egyptian influence in Sudan

Evidence

Historians of the modern Sudanese note that the revolution left several legacies, among them the dramatic cessation of Egyptian influence over the Sudan and a bitterness among the Sudanese, who resented Cairo’s remaining inactive while scores of Sudanese were shot at or imprisoned during the demonstrations. The Egyptian lack of response to events in the Sudan, so abhorrent to Huda Sha`rawï, also provoked deep disillusionment among both Sudanese soldiers and participants in the White Flag League. This disappointment was as effective as British efforts in the smashing of the league. — Eve M. Troutt Powell, A Different Shade of Colonialism_…, 1036
