Serving under European officers freed Egyptian soldiers from Circassian command

Evidence

Fawzï first fought in the Sudan under General Charles Gordon when Gordon served Ismaïl in the southernmost regions of the Nile Valley. In this way, unlike the experience of men like Uräbï, Fawzï was not directly answerable to a Circassian officer. Gordon promoted Fawzï to the governorship of the Equatorial Provinces in 1877, a relatively high rank for so young an officer, and an Egyptian officer at that. — Eve M.
