▪ British-Egyptian history
the joint British and Egyptian government that ruled the eastern Sudan from 1899 to 1955. It was established by the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium Agreements of Jan. 19 and July 10, 1899, and, with some later modifications, lasted until the formation of the sovereign, independent Republic of The Sudan (
Sudan, history of the) on Jan. 1, 1956. (The Anglo-Egyptian Agreement of 1953 had outlined the steps to be taken for Sudanese self-rule and self-determination.)
The Condominium agreements established an office of governor-general, to be appointed, on British recommendation, by the khedive of Egypt and vested with supreme civil and military command. In theory, Egypt shared a governing role; but in practice the structure of the Condominium ensured full British control over the Sudan. The governors and inspectors were customarily British officers, though technically serving in the Egyptian Army; and key figures in the government and civil service always remained graduates of British universities and military schools.
