European rivals branded Egyptian governor Fawzï a slave-dealing despot

Evidence

But for some European explorers of the Sudan, especially rivals in the administration, Ibrahïm Fawzï embodied political evil, a particularly Egyptian type of despotism that had wrought havoc on the Sudanese. Branded a corrupt scoundrel by Giegler Pasha, another European that Isma`ïl appointed to a Sudanese administrative service, Ibrahïm Fawzï was known to the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society as a violent slave dealer who had abused his position as governor of Equatoria to plunder the very tribes Gordon had employed him to protect. — Eve M.
