1952 CE

The British believe there had been official connivance in the rioting.

Wafdist interior minister Fuad Siraj ad Din (also seen as Serag al Din) is accused of negligence by an Egyptian government report and dismissed.

The king dismisses Nahas, and four prime ministers hold office in the next six months.

It becomes clear that the Egyptian ruling class has become unable to rule, and none of the radical nationalist groups is strong enough to take power.

This power vacuum gives the Free Officers their opportunity.
