English: "An Appeal from the Egyptian-Sudanese People to the American People, to the U.N. Delegates of All Peace-Loving People, to the Conscience of Mankind. There Will Never Be Peace until We Put an End to Imperialism! The British Should Evacuate the Whole Valley of the Nile. The World Should Recognize the Natural Unity without which There Can Be No Life for Egypt, nor for the Sudan.." The broadside argues for the natural unity of Egypt and the Sudan since both are heavily dependent on water from the Nile. Hussein claims in this broadside that the Nile originates in the "Equatorial Zone of the Sudan (ignoring Lake Victoria as the source of the White Nile and Ethiopia and the source of the Blue Nile). Egyptian dreams of unifying Egypt and the Sudan under Egyptian domination were not realized. Instead, Egypt's leaders after the successful Egyptian Revolution of 1952 abandoned claims to sovereignty over the impoverished, pre-oil Sudan. Great Britain subsequently ceded its colonial control and Sudan was recognized as an independent country in 1956.
