بحثا عن الحقيقة " المرحوم الاميرالاي عبدالله بك خليل "

Quote: من كتاب Identity, conflict and cooperation in international river systems Jack Kalpakian As stated earlier in the sections pertaining to the 1959 Nile Waters Agreement and the construction of the Aswan High Dam, Egypt abandoned the dispute over Halaib and began a campaign to destabilize the elected Sudanese government through economic sanctions and propaganda زNasser also invited a coup d'etat in Sudan. Major-General Ibrahim Abboud deposed the Umma government in November 1958. Abboud was smitten by Nasser. He capitulated to all of Egypt's demands, and thereby compromised the country's independence from Egypt.9S While the initial opposition of the overwhelming majority of the Northern Sudanese political spectrum to Sudan's unequal political relationship with Egypt is easy to comprehend. the failure of the Umrna Party and the NUP to reverse this policy after Abboud's departure remains a puzzle. It would follow that the restoration of democracy in Northern Sudan would have led to the cancellation of the ] 959 Nile Waters Agreement and the expulsion of Egyptian hydrological technicians from Sudan, but this did not take place. The current Sudanese government which has aided anti-government terrorists in Egypt continues to abide by the 1959 agreement and cooperates with Egypt over Nile issues. In fact. Abboud is considered a hero by Sudanese Islamic fundamentalists. Sudan's initial rejection of the 1959 Nile \Vaters Agreement suggests that its later acceptance of E t's demands was and is not premised on Sudanese material interests.
