Egyptian officers endured the same imperial grading as Egypt itself.

Evidence

In his memoirs, Fawzï allowed himself to become the personification of all Egypt’s experiences with empire. Like Egypt undergoing the invasive supervision of Great Britain in East Africa, Fawzï was dogged and eventually disgraced by European officials accusing him of crimes and slave trading. As Egypt as a nation and a culture had to prove to the occupying administration that it was capable of self-government, Fawzï had to prove that he deserved the high rank of liwä´ to British officials. — Eve M.
