Sa'id Pasha abolishes slavery in Egypt

Sa'id Pasha issued a decree banning official Egyptian slave raids in the Sudan due to European pressure.

The decree was a response to diplomatic demands from European powers. It targeted specific raiding practices in the Sudan, not the total abolition of slavery in Egypt. Slavery continued in Egypt until the early 20th century, with the slave trade banned later in the late 19th century.
