The Egyptians encourage economic development in Sudan…

1852 CE to 1863 CE

The Egyptians encourage economic development in Sudan through state monopolies that export slaves, ivory, and gum arabic.

In some areas, tribal land, which had been held in common, becomes the private property of the sheikhs, who sometimes sell it to buyers outside the tribe, but the slave trade is the most profitable business in Sudan and remains the focus of Egyptian interests in the country until its gradual suppression in the 1860s.
