1852 CE to 1863 CE

Muhammad Ali had maintained a state monopoly on slave trading until 1843.

Thereafter, authorities have sold licenses to private traders who compete with government slave raids.

In 1854 Cairo ends state par­ticipation in the slave trade and in 1860, in response to European pres­sure, prohibits the slave trade altogether.

However, the Egyptian army fails to enforce the prohibition against the private armies of the slave traders.

The introduction of steamboats and firearms enables slave traders to overwhelm local resistance and prompts the creation of southern "bush empires" by Baqqara Arabs.
