1888 CE to 1899 CE

Article 2 of the Anglo-Egyptian Agreement specifies that "the supreme military and civil command in Sudan shall be vested in one officer, termed the Gov­ernor-General of Sudan. He shall be appointed by Khedival Decree on the recommendation of Her Britannic Majesty's Government and shall be removed only by Khedival Decree with the consent of Her Britannic Majesty's Government."

The British governor-general reports to the Foreign Office through its resident agent in Cairo.

In practice, how­ever, he exercises extraordinary powers and directs the Condomin­ium government from Khartoum as if it were a colonial administration.

Sir Reginald Wingate succeeds Kitchener as governor-general in 1899.

In each province, two inspectors and several district commissioners aid the governor

Initially, most administrative personnel are British army officers seconded to the Egyptian army.

Starting in 1901, however, British civilian administrators will form the nucleus of the Sudan Political Service.

Egyptians will fill middle-level posts, while Sudanese will gradually acquire lower-level positions.
