ABSTRACT
The conquest of the Sudan in 1896–1899 was a logical outcome of the British occupation of Egypt in 1882. The Condominium Agreement of January 19, 1899 provided for a joint administration of the Sudan by the British and Egyptian governments. Wingate’s attitude towards Egyptian rule in the Sudan crystallized during the Mahdiyya. The Sudan’s financial relations with Egypt were laid down in the ‘Regulations for the Financial Administration of the Sudan approved by the council of Ministers, which were appended to the Condominium Agreement. The Sudan government was far from satisfied with the extent of Egyptian aid, but even more it was exasperated by the limitations which evolved from the grants. The Egyptian legislative assembly had little occasion to intervene in Sudan affairs. The 1924 disturbances in the Sudan, which included demonstrations and anti-British sermons in several mosques, were therefore heaven-sent as far as Stack and his colleagues were concerned.
