Egyptian nationalists claimed Sudan as their own colony by right of conquest

Evidence

The Sudan is Egypt’s by right of conquest. She is a part of Egypt, and her not being separated is vital to Egypt’s life, due to her holding the source of the Nile and being her neighbor. We loathed giving her up, then she was reconquered, this time with the participation of the English. During all of that we were submissive to the contract of the Condominium and the triumphant power [England]. That administration is void before public opinion and the law. The arrangement of the Condominium alters nothing of the correct concept that all Egyptians hold dear, and that is that colonizing [isti`mär] the Sudan is the right of Egyptians, and no one else, just as the subsidizing of the Sudan is the duty of Egyptians, and no one else. Egyptians look at the Sudanese as brothers, as a part of their community, so it’s their responsibility to look out for their brothers’ welfare. — Eve M.

• XREF: Connects to broader historiography of the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium and Egyptian irredentist claims over Sudan — relevant to the reader’s Egypt-versus-Sudan colonial comparison.
• QUESTION: Worth chasing: does this Egyptian self-conception as colonizer of Sudan prefigure later tensions with the 1956 Sudanese independence movement?
