Abstract

Who Should Rule the Sudan?
Henriques, Robert | May 10, 1947 issue

add to cart   close window

For the last forty-eight years a patchwork area of eastern and central Africa has been called the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. It is now the subject of an appeal by Egypt to the Security Council of the United Nations. The problem is complex, but the real question is simple, who in the Sudan is to be the real boss. Egypt wants to be boss of the whole Nile Valley, on which its life most literally depends. The Sudanese, at last becoming politically conscious, are learning to want to boss themselves. Great Britain, behind the constitutional facade of a condominium, is the boss now. When the Sudan is politically adult, Britain has promised to walk out. The year 1966 is its proclaimed estimate.
