Makram Ebeid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Makram Ebeid Pasha (Qina 1879 - Cairo 1961) was an Egyptian Coptic politician.Ebeid was the Wafd Party secretary-general between 1936 and 1942. He was also a finance minister of Egypt. Ebeid left the Wafd Party after a dispute with his old friend and the then Prime Minister of Egypt and leader of the Wafd Party Mustafa Al Nahhas Pasha. The cause of their quarrel was profound. Shrewd, 66-year-old Nahas felt that he needed to concentrate authority in one hand - his own - to get his country through the impending crisis of World War II. So he took back from Ebeid certain powers which he had once bestowed. Ebeid, hurt, became so obstreperous that Nahas kicked him out of his job as finance minister, which was followed by Ebeid's resignation from the Wafd Party.
