Sudanese referred to all government authorities as Turks regardless of ethnicity

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). — Eve M.
