The document claims that the opulent lifestyle of the Muhammad Ali family, specifically Ismai'il Pasha, drove Egypt into debt, which gave foreign militaries a plea to occupy the country.
The document includes three demands:
- The abolition of the Muhammad Ali monarchy
- The declaration of a republic led by Mohamed Naguib
- The persistence of the Command Council throughout the 'transitional period'
The document ends with a religious note: "We have to trust God and ourselves, and to feel the pride that God has endowed to his faithful worshippers."[1]
