The Anglo-Egyptian Condominium gave governance to Britain but costs to Egypt

Evidence

This controversy arose as the Mahdist state itself weakened and then fell to the British-led Egyptian armies in 1898. Not long after General Herbert Kitchener liberated hundreds of prisoners of the Mahdï, including Fawzï Pasha, the Sudan was named the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium, a unique designation under which a British administrator would govern the Sudan and the Egyptian treasury would finance the ter- ritory. The British and Egyptian flags flew side-by-side over administrative buildings in Khartoum, but it was clear to most that the so-called condo- minium paid only sanctimonious attention to Egyptian claims to the Sudan. — Eve M.
