Sudanese traders and northern tribes profited heavily under Egyptian rule.

Evidence

Although the Mahdï denounced the Turkïya as a tyrannical administration, many Sudanese traders and sometimes entire northern tribes benefited from it. Notable among these were the Jaaliyün, the Danäqla, and the Shayqïya. There were Sudanese individuals who profited enormously from the changes wrought by the administration, like the Jaalï trader al-Zubayr Rahman Pasha Mansur, who eventually became governor of Därfür, and Ahmad Bey Awad al-Karïm Abu Sinn, who served as governor of Khartoum from 1860 to 1870. — <cite>Eve M.
