 | | The Egyptian press extolled the former khedive for his action and the spirit in which it was taken. | | | However, while Abbas was not entitled to travel abroad as an Egyptian, an official government source maintained that he was still barred from coming to Egypt by virtue of the laws he had recognised in the document in which he renounced his claims to the throne. | | | The wife of the Khedive Ismail died just a little over a month after her son signed away his claims to the Egyptian throne. |

| | Up to this time newspaper correspondents and book-writers had lauded the Khedive and severely criticised the speculators who had inveigled him into their grasp, and whose exactions were mercilessly plundering the unfortunate fellah. | | | The English and French governments entered the arena and urged upon the Khedive an international commission of six foreigners and the four officials, all in the interests of the bondholders, and in which no natives were allowed a voice. | | | Meanwhile the Mofétish was tried by a secret council for conspiracy against the Khedive, and condemned to perpetual exile in Upper Africa. |

| | It was not until 1931 that Abbas raised the white flag, officially renouncing all claims to the Egyptian throne in exchange for a settlement of his financial affairs and finally contenting himself to become a "former khedive" more than a decade and a half after he was deposed. | | | Commenting on this law, the British newspaper Near East wrote that it would "put an end once and for all to the demands pertaining to the trusts with which the khedive had been pestering the British government ever since war broke out with Turkey. | | | Robeck saw little benefit from such an action and decided instead to place the former khedive under strict surveillance. |

| | Even though the Armenian Prime-Minister Boghos Nubar always comes to mind when mentioning the khedive’s catastrophic policies, a lesser-known figure, Ismail bey Sadyk El-Muffatish (the inspector) played an equally sinister role in the financial debacle that brought Egypt under foreign domination. | | | With the help of Sadyk the Khedive used to present false statements of his debts, concealing the truth of his extreme extravagances. | | | Whether Khedive Ismail was aware of El-Muffatish’s treachery and bided his time or had genuinely trusted him will never be known, but the Khedive kept El-Muffatish near him during all his tribulations to extract himself from the claws of his European creditors. |

| | This expedition was necessitated by the half-heartedness of the Government, which grossly underestimated the power of the Mahdi and failed to appreciate the complete absence of any authority on the part of the Khedive. | | | In 1875 the Khedive sold his shares in the Suez Canal to the British Government and set up an International Court of Justice. | | | The Khedive now favoured the Sultan at the expense of the British and French, who demanded more control of state affairs, which were deteriorating from bad to worse, until eventually rioting and rebellion broke out in Alexandria, where the Arabs attacked all Europeans. |
