ABSTRACT
The first governor-general to be appointed under the agreement was Lord Kitchener in 1899, He held office until December of that year when he was called to war in South Africa. The first priority of the Anglo-Egyptian regime was perforce the elimination of popular resistance. Posts were established and manned by northern troops under British officers, but beyond these posts the process of pacification was to continue well into the 1920s. The administrative structure of the Condominium was erected during Wingate's governor-generalship. The British relied upon the arrangements of the Turco-Egyptian and Mahdist regimes, on their experience in Egypt and India, and upon methods adopted through trial and error for the particular circumstances of the Sudan. A treaty between Ethiopia and Great Britain in 1902 determined a frontier which, as in the past, was to cause constant trouble to the authorities in the Sudan.
