Sudanese pro-Egyptian activism did not raise Egyptian awareness of Sudanese issues
Evidence
The intensity of the pro-Egyptian feeling during the Sudanese revolution surprised and pleased many Egyptian politicians and nationalists, and the violence of the demonstrations inspired huge headlines in the Egyptian press.Yet the spectacle of Sudanese activists did not create in Egypt a greater awareness of Sudanese interests or issues. Newspaper writers emphasized instead the impact of the rebellion on Egypt and the Egyptians present in Khartoum and Omdurman. — Eve M. Troutt Powell, A Different Shade of Colonialism_…, 1044 (
