  Riaz Pasha - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Little is known of his early life save that until the accession of Ismail Pasha to the vice-royalty of Egypt in 1863 he occupied a humble position.
Ismail, recognizing in this obscure individual a capacity for hard work and a strong will, made him one of his ministers, to find, to his chagrin, that Riaz was also an honest man possessed of a remarkable independence of character.
When Ismail's financial straits compelled him to agree to a commission of inquiry Riaz was the only Egyptian of known honesty sufficiently intelligent and patriotic to be named as a vice-president of the commission.

Ismail strove against slave trade in Sudan, expanded Egypt's properties in Africa, and inaugurated the Suez Canal for international navigation; however, during his reign, Egypt's debts increased greatly which led to the interference of England and France in Egypt's internal affairs under the allegation of protecting their interests.

Khedive of Egypt, son of the Khedive Ismail, was born on the 15th of November 1852.
Ismail sought this alteration mainly because he disliked his uncle, Halim Pasha, who was his heir-presumptive, and he is supposed to have imagined that he would be able to select whichever of his sons he pleased for his successor.
Tewfik's people were dissatisfied, his army disaffected; his advisers were nearly all of the adventurer class, with their own ends to gain; and he himself had neither the character of a strong ruler nor the experience that would have enabled him to secure an orderly administration of affairs.
