06Minority ministries and instability
King Faroukruled tyrannically, using the minority parties as his father had done, so ministries were formed thatenjoyed no popular support.
In the periods of these ministriestwo prime ministers were killed: Ahmed Maher PashaandMahmoud Fahmi al-Nuqrashi Pasha.
TheBrotherhood movement grew strong, formingflying squads (jawwala)and asecret apparatus that carried out several bombings and political assassinations, and it killed al-Nuqrashi when he dissolved it.
These ministries sought toamend the 1936 treaty so as to secure the evacuation of British forces and the unity of the Nile valley, andfailed; so al-Nuqrashi was compelled torefer Egypt's case to the Security Council, whichtook no decision and left it pending.
