Egyptian nationalism combined anti-imperialism with its own imperial claims over Sudan

Evidence

Ibrahïm Fawzï may have been the most honest in his acceptance of the contradiction inherent in the colonized colonizer, but nothing offended him as deeply as being identified as the slave of a Sudanese. Ahmad Lutfï al-Sayyid was the most candid in his dis- cussion of racial prejudice in Egypt, but for him as well, the Sudan and the Sudanese had no past independent of Egypt. Even the beautiful voice of Muhammad Imäm al-Abd could not be heard without the interfering fact of his parents’ enslavement. — <cite>Eve M.
