Mustafa Al-Nahhas Calls for Treaty Cancellation
On October 8, 1951, Mustafa al-Nahhas Pasha announced before the House of Representatives and the Senate the annulment of the 1936 treaty between Egypt and Britain. This was done with the unanimous approval of the council, marking the beginning of a new phase in the national struggle and the call for full independence for the country. This decision came amid increasing popular pressure and national movements to end the British occupation. Egypt faced an outright rejection from Britain, which considered the annulment illegal and insisted on upholding the agreement. Meanwhile, British forces in the Suez Canal area increased significantly, exceeding the legal provisions of the treaty. This move was a bold step and became a symbol of national resistance, playing a significant role in invigorating national pride and supporting the fight for Egypt’s independence. It also revealed international differences in attitudes toward Egypt’s attempt to end the occupation.
