Sudanese labeled Egyptian soldiers as Turks, stinging Egyptian national pride

Evidence

It is important to note that Fawzï Pasha always uses the word misrïyyün (Egyptians) when speaking of the administration in the Sudan. His text shows, however, that the Sudanese, particularly those from abïd tribes (non-Muslim tribes), also refer to all people in government uniforms or with military authority as Atrak (Turks). … The note explains that in the Mahdist Sudan the term Turk had no “precise ethnic significance” and was later transferred to the Anglo-Egyptian elite. — Eve M.
