Nile Valley unity left Sudanese representation ambiguous and unresolved

Evidence

The Sudanese Union also protested the exclusion of Sudanese and Egyptians from high official positions, an exclusion that was reinforced by the paucity of decent schools available to the Sudanese. The union also stated its support for the unity of the Nile Valley, an issue strongly opposed by the sayyids of the Ansar group. But this concept of unity was ambiguous because it left open the question of who would actually speak for the Sudanese in such a union. — Eve M.
