Abstract

What England Wants in the Sudan

December 17, 1924 issue

add to cart   close window

In her recent demands which have been accepted by Egypt, England tore up the Sudan treaties and eliminated even the shadow of Egyptian control in that region. Some of the economic factors behind that action and behind the demand for an unlimited extension of the Gezira irrigated area are indicated in the article in the 1923-1924 annual edition of the African World published at Cape Town. Mr. F. Eckstein, chairman of the Sudan Plantations Syndicate, Ltd., is engaged on a work than which there is none bigger in the empire today.
