Hussein Roshdy Pasha

Hussein, Pasha Roshdy (1863–1928) (Arabic: حسين رشدي باشا‎) was an Egyptian political figure of Turkish origin[1][2] who served as Prime Minister of Egypt between 1914 and 1919. Under pressure from British authorities, Roshdy issued a “Decision of the Council of Ministers” which essentially declared war against the Central Powers in the First World War. He was later forced to resign for failing to resolve a strike by government officials demanding mandatory recognition of the Egyptian delegation by the cabinet and the withdrawal of British sentries and guards.[3]

gollark: No, smoking just really quite harmful if you do much of it.
gollark: Oh, you definitely would be, because drugs bad and make you (mostly temporarily) stupiderer.
gollark: Computer stuff just tends to have hilariously stupid amounts of security vulnerabilities in everything, and brains at least... probably less so, since most of them would require physical access probably maybe hopefully.
gollark: Apparently?
