1952 CE

Leaders of Sudan's Umma-dominated legislature negotiate the Self-Determination Agreement with Britain in 1952.

The legislators now enact a constitution that provides for a prime minister and council of ministers responsible to a bicameral parliament.

The new Sudanese government will have responsibility in all areas except military and foreign affairs, which will remain in the British governor general's hands.

Cairo, which demands recognition of Egyptian sovereignty over Sudan, repudiates the condominium agreement in protest and declares its reigning monarch, Farouk, king of Sudan.

Colonel Muhammad Naguib, after seizing power in Egypt and overthrowing the Farouk monarchy in late 1952, breaks the deadlock on the problem of Egyptian sovereignty over Sudan.

Cairo previously had linked discussions on Sudan's status to an agreement on the evacuation of British troops from the Suez Canal.

Naguib separates the two issues and accepts the right of Sudanese self-determination.
