Sudanese leaders in 1919 launched an anti-Egyptian independence platform in print.

Evidence

The 1924 revolution put the Sudan firmly in British control, with no Egyptians left to serve in either the bureaucracy or the army. Egyptians were excluded until 1938, when the imminence of war altered the balance of negotiations between the British and Egyptian governments. Egypt never did return to the Sudan.Another legacy of this revolution was the developing awareness of a need for a new kind of movement in the Sudan, one that embraced the concept of “the Sudan for the Sudanese” and defined Sudanese as all who lived in this vast country. — Eve M.
