Egyptian nationalists framed the Sudan not as a colony but as integral Egyptian territory

Evidence

It is a mistake to consider the Sudan an Egyptian colony. The Sudan is rather a part of what makes up Egypt; she completes Egypt. There is Lower Egypt, and the Sudan is Upper Egypt. Every Sudanese bears the same responsibilities to the nation of Egypt as every native Egyptian. When Sudanese people mention the tyranny of some Egyptian rulers, Egyptians can also relate the despotism of their own rulers. Egypt at times suffered autocrats the entire length of the nation. If it was within a governor’s power in the Sudan to hang a Sudanese, it was also within the power of the mudïr of Daqhiliyya or Sharqiyya [Egyptian provinces] to hang an Egyptian. — Eve M.
