British Administration in Sudan

British administration in Sudan, established after the 1899 Anglo-Egyptian Condominium agreement, governed the region jointly by Britain and Egypt, though Britain held the primary control. This system lasted until Sudan gained independence in 1956. During this period, the British aimed to modernize infrastructure, administer justice, and maintain order, often favoring certain regions and groups, which led to internal tensions. The administration also managed economic development and introduced some educational reforms, but its policies contributed to regional disparities and set the stage for future conflicts. Overall, British rule was characterized by indirect governance, with local elites playing key roles.
